From Bub Bridger's Johnny Come Dancing, part of Puna Wai Kōrero, I especially liked the bolded description of NZ's remoteness:
So he walked to Lough Foyle
and he met a sea captain
one man short
to sail for New Zealand
Where’s that? asked Johnny
Is it far far away?
It’s further than that
That last couplet made me think of a song I heard long ago from a NZ band that mentioned "the tyranny of distance"
