The Kiwi Accent

So, I've been trying to fake a kiwi accent since I arrived. Usually, I'm pretty good at picking up accents, but I cannot for the life of me get kiwi. Apparently, the closest I've come is a really fast "posh british accent" with a bunch of yeahs (pronounced Yii-a) thrown in...

Sweet as.

So here are some kiwi accents courtesy of youtube. If you can copy it, good on ya mate.

For bonus points pronounce this: Whangarei - if you said 'wong - ga - ray' you'd be wrong.
