Yeah, exactly, Australia and NZ are much MUCH more British than Anglo-Canada, starting with their (IMO awful) accents. Anglo-Canadian sounds better, like American accents. Sometimes when I watch videos about NZ it looks almost ridiculous in how impossibly British it is, just with a sunnier climate. But of course with the "nez dans le guidon" vision, I'm sure the New Zealanders would vehemently deny that they are British at all. They aren't entirely (think haka, etc), but they are in a large measure nonetheless.
But then I suppose the same could be said about the White New Caledonians, Although of course to me it doesn't look shocking since they are like us.
(with a few differences)
(New Caledonians, in parenthesis, are absolutely lovely people, a bit like French people from 100 years ago in terms of their kindness and candidness)
