I'm back in NZ after spending about 10 years away after working in the UK/Asia. Have kept my links with clients abroad and they seem to love pinging a brief to me before they go home and waking up to a solution in their in box, 1st thing in the morning. Also nice to earn foreign currency whilst the NZ dollar isn't that strong.
In regards to rates here... as a senior designer I think you can look at charging NZ$100+ an hour... but most work I've come across has been charged per project and I've worked within that.
Saying that I have been working in isolation and still working out the lay of the land after a year here.

Happy to try and find answers to any other questions yo might have.
