New Zealand's only victory over their trans-Tasman rivals in 11 series in Australia came in 1985, when Richard Hadlee's swing and seam bowling, and Martin Crowe's batting helped the tourists to a 2-1 win over Allan Border's side.
Such has been Australia's dominance over New Zealand in test cricket that the last three series there have been limited to two matches.
However, Brendon McCullum's side won the last test between the two, in Hobart in December 2011, by seven runs to level the series after they were thumped by nine wickets in the first game at Brisbane.
