Meerkat's examples may work better for those with northern accents if you shorten the vowels lots. E.g. "fuhsh n chuhps".

The NZ vowels get more pronounced the further south you go. That is, a native of Dunedin will sound different from a resident of Auckland, but the latter will sound Aussie to most US and UK listeners.
