You can pull a Kiwi NVFR out of a pack of weetbix!
I'm surprised it is so relaxed over there with a couple of circuits and a stint up and down the coast and you're all sweet. With their terrain/icing/wx etc I would have thought it would be rather strict!
There are also two NVFR ratings in AU, don't get the ag one or you will not be able to operate NVFR on multi engine charter ops.
