Most of their players weren't born the last time they won a Test series in Australia, but Prime Minister's XI skipper Mike Hussey believes New Zealand's bowlers will make or break whether they can end their 30-year drought. 
Conditions during the first two Tests at the Gabba and WACA are expected to suit the Black Caps' swing bowlers, led by Tim Southee and Trent Boult.
The final match of the series in Adelaide will be the first day-night Test in history, and a pink ball renowned for its dramatic movement under lights will be used.
Hussey is of the opinion the conditions suit New Zealand, who would undoubtedly be targeting Australia's inexperienced team as their best chance of series win here since 1985-86.
"Their bowling attack looks really strong and playing at venues like the Gabba and WACA would really suit them," Hussey said. "If they can get it to swing, they can put the Australian batsmen under a lot of pressure. With the day-night Test in Adelaide, what the players have been saying is the ball can do a little more at night, and that will suit the Black Caps."
Hussey said he struggled in his career facing the pink ball in day-night Sheffield Shield games, and said Friday's hitout at Manuka Oval against it will be invaluable for both teams to adjust.
Right-arm Kiwi quick Southee hopes to take full toll of the conditions, but is still confident of troubling the Australians even if the ball isn't moving. "The strength of myself and Trent in particular is how we can swing a ball, but we've also had results where it hasn't swung," Southee said.
"It's exciting to be a part of history [with the day-night Test]. We had a hitout with it [pink ball] a couple of weeks ago in Hamilton, and we're still learning what it's going to do. The guys are excited to try something new."
