... where "dairy" has the NZ meaning: "place where milk is sold" rather
than the Australian meaning of "place where milk is extracted from
cows".  A couple of NZ expats who attended the residential college I
attended in Tasmania (which had a working dairy farm) were once sent to
the dairy to get the milk, and the cook wondered why they took so long,
and came back with no milk.  :-)
