Australian values and attitudes came to New Zealand not just with the immigrants, but also via print, radio and television. ‘Dad and Dave’, an Australian radio serial about a rural family in Snake Gully, ran from 1937 to 1953 and had a large following. The fans included these two New Zealanders, dressed up as the title characters. You can listen to an extract from the programme here.
