What is the Mexican community in Australia or New Zealand like?

I live in CA so of course we are saturated in Mexican culture and it was Mexican land and we for the most part like what we like about Mexican and Hispanic culture like any other so what is the Mexican community like in AU or NZ?

Knowing that there is not a big community of them, are there any Spanish churches or good Mexican restaurants? I knew a Mexican/South American/Italian-American guy who said he was there years ago to visit Italian Australian relatives and he said the Mexican food there sucked, worse than Taco Bell, but liked everything else about Australia. A guy online from New Zealand said he only met one Mexican in his entire life there, and it was one who was of strictly European descent and may have just been Mexican born and grew up in America and then moved to NZ. I, am not kidding.

I myself am not Hispanic but am around people who are and have had some interest on and off, and I am not planning on going to AU/NZ anytime soon although a second cousin has been there a few times and did a college stint in Australia. So yeah... Mexican Australian culture?

    Why would you want to come to Oz to meet Mexicans? Just drive south.

    There's almost no Mexicans in Australia.  I've met two in my whole life.  As for food, it's Taco Bill, NOT Taco Bell.

    In the early 1970s I was not aware of any Mexican community in Aus or NZ when I lived in Tasmania and later in Melbourne.
