my friend said when she told australians she was going to the dairy, they thought she meant the farm.

Dairy = grocers/convenience store/7-11

makes sense

In the U.S., to say "going to the dairy" would in fact mean "the farm" - because 'the dairy' is where the milk is taken from the cow. However, if you said (or implied) 'the dairy area/department/section/etc.' of a store - well, that is what that would mean.

in nz the dairy is its own store where you buy milk, eggs and bread. It was allowed to open when all the other shops would be closed, 7 days a week and even on public holidays.

this is because Nzers cannot live without their fresh milk. Or rather the baby boomers couldnt.
