People may think Australia and New Zealand both are the same because they are neighbor counrties but, in fact, both countries have several differences from each other. This essay will  compare and contrast between Australia and New Zealand.

There are several differences between Australia and New Zealand. As a 2015 report from KFC, Australia is a developed country and has 7 main cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Darwin. While New Zealand is also a developed country, but has only 3 main cities like Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch. Another different between Australia and New Zealand is the population. The population in Australia is 20 million and very cosmopolitan more than 6 times in New Zealand that has 3.25 million people and not very cosmopolitan(Australia and New Zealand  government ,2008). The both area of these two countries are also very distinct.Due to Milonea reports 2010,  the New Zealand is 270500 square km smaller twice than the area of Australia (7682300 square km). Furthermore, the fauna of both countries are quite different. The native fauna in Australia include Marsupials, many reptiles, lots of birds, native dogs and Tasmanian Tiger. Whereas, the native fauna in New Zealand have many large flightless birds, many flying birds and large lizard(Foco, 2008)

Beside from these several differences, both countries share a lot of the same such as language, location and money.DFO reports that Australian speak English similar to New Zealand. The greatest similarity between Australia and New Zealand are location. According to UBB (2010) ,the both countries are located in Southern Hemisphere and Pacific Ocean, but have a bit different composition, Australia is a continent and New Zealand is three islands. The other noticeable similarity between them are money, $2 AUD can change $1 US, similar to New Zealand that  $3 NZ can change $1 US( world bank ,2016).

In summarize, Australia and New Zealand share many the same things like money, language and location. However, the distinctions between both countries are obvious such as area, fauna, main cities and population. 

 

Australia and New Zealand are two beautiful neighboring countries located on southern Hemisphere. Both the countries share some similar features but also have some differences. The essay discusses about some differences as well as similarities between Australia and New Zealand.

There are some similarities in features of both the neighboring countries, Australia and New Zealand. One of the main and common feature of both the countries is language. English is the main and common language spoken in Australia as well as in New Zealand (Karki,2017).  Secondly, they both have same currency name with a minor difference in its value against US $.Sarah(2016) mentions that there is money value of NZ and AU against   1$ US  is 2$ AU and 3$ NZ respectively.

Likewise, Australia and New Zealand have many differences among the features. New Zealand consists of three Islands but Australia is a continent. According to Abc (2014), 80% land is desert having tropical rain forest and small mountains in Australia. In contrast, New Zealand have large mountains, alpine forest, many lakes and fiords. The area of Australia is 7682300 Sq. which is 28 times bigger than New Zealand. Australia enjoys a wide variety of fauna including marsupials, many reptiles, lots of birds, native dogs, Tasmanian Tiger while there are fewer species of birds and animals in New Zealand. The population of Australia is  20 million and is very cosmopolitan whereas New Zealand has less population 3.25 million and not very cosmopolitan(Potts,2015).
