The band Split Enz (from the 80's) are from New Zealand, so you might check them out. There is one song "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" - they sing "Aotearoa" which is Maori for NZ. Not sure that is what you are looking for.

ETA: Neil Finn was also in the band "Crowded House" and Tim Finn did some solo albums, so you could look into those as well. Good luck!

Have her watch Lord of the Rings. Besides all of the Aussie actors, it was shot in NZ
