NZ isn't even on those maps. The land north of Australia is Papua New Guinea. Which is pretty much in the right spot.
Good job, buddy!

Hi all,
One of the shockiest timeline changes I have noticed is the changed location of New Zealand and Australia on the map. They have dramatically changed their places and we are now talking about paranormal/supernatural events as it looks like those land masses have almost "jumped" to other location.
There are people like me that have always remembered and still think vividly that NZ is located on the left side/to the northwest of Australia. Then there is Australia, which should be in the middle of nowhere, just a lot of blue water all around it and far away from other land masses (except for NZ on its left side).
But if you go and check the current location of NZ and Australia with your Google Earth you may start to see something really weird. NZ seems to be jumped on the other side, to the south-east of Australia. On the other hand, Australia seems to be shifted a lot to the north, very close to Papua New Guinea so it almost touches it. Where is the Australia which was far away from other land masses? Something seems to be also wrong with the form of Australia. When did the Australia get that spike that is pointing to the Papua New Guinea.
In this thread we could gather all your memories of NZ and Australia, especially if you have memories of NZ located to the NW of Australia. If there are New Zealanders on ATS it would be very interesting to hear their take on this subject. Then we could think about when was the last time you remember seeing Australia in the middle of blue or NZ to the NW of Australia on the map. Mine was 2005 when I was exploring the map of NZ with Google Earth and I think the change must been happend somewhere between 2005-2009.

I had a look at a few of the links and to be honest I think you have misinterpreted them. The forum that you quoted, with the question "is New zeland to the left of Australia" which is probably a geographical question, but the answer "very much so" is actually in a politcial sense, and if you read the thread you can see the people are discussing their reasons based on government policy etc for moving to different countries and whether they would move there or not.

Another one of the links, where you've quoted "oh and new zealand is to the west of Australia" is clearly a misunderstanding on the poster's part, as they then leave a wikipedia link that clearly states it is to the south east of Australia, but starts off by saying that New zeland is in the south western pacific ocean, so I really do think the person just made a mistake.
I'm sorry but so many posters have given genuine environmental factors such as climate etc as to why it is not possible that the same new zealand existed in a different location in a different timeline, as well as the improbability that an individual could experience both timelines in a cognitive way.
As such I still believe that it is most likely a misunderstanding, people skim over information all of the time, with the result that mistakes can be made and incorrect assumptions formed, and when there is no real reason to correct those mistakes, i.e. something you've posted on a forum, that misunderstanding can remain until there is a reason to challenge it i.e this thread.
Most people when challenged about an incorrect assumption like the location of a country will normally think "oh right, not sure why I thought that", and of course there could be many reasons, not listening properly, skimming over a wiki article etc but as soon as they see the correct information they accept that for whatever reason, they were mistaken, as it is a massive leap to assume that you have existed in a different timeline where the location of the country was different, yet everything else remaind the same!
Sorry but you have to be kidding yourself.
His links provided clear and concrete evidence of more people realizing something strange is going on. how can you possibly call
"new zealand, to the west of australia"
as a political inference?
I just dont see it , in any way, shape, or form. So
