Kiwi flies into a certain creek without a paddle - then has to swim out!

NZ pilot lands in sewage pond, swims out [SMH]
A pilot had to swim to safety after his plane landed in a sewage pond in New Zealand.

The Cessna ended up in the pond after overshooting the runway at Thames Airport on New Zealand's North Island on Monday.
I'm sure he has earned himself a new name at this airport.

Toyota NZ made a huge hit with a TV ad a few years ago, with Kiwis getting into all sorts of situations (in their Toyota ute).

It only had one word of dialogue, repeated.
