Hi Col, Possibly no biggie. At the registers of Bunnings, one can input a mobile number to recieve a receipt by sms.
It's possible either someone inputted the wrong number (yours), or the Bunning backend stuffed up and placed a +61 (Australia country code) in front of a valid NZ mobile number which the customer did input correctly.
Hopefully if the above is true, your mind can be at ease.

Yes ...that could be the case Andy ...those sorts of things can happen.
Bunnings sometimes offers to sms receipts on purchase so I reckon that someone just put in a random phone number to sms the receipt to and it happened to be yours
A random phone number Col and it was yours, that's like picking 10 straight numbers for tatts lotto Col. maybe you should buy a ticket mate, and if you win I'll have half for the suggestion
Bank also said ...it could be a scam for identity theft.
Best way to tell would be to see the underlying hyperlink on the link provided... I suspect that the link you are seeing is not the link it goes to.
For example, the following link is actually to google even though it looks like it goes to "thisisnotgoogle.com" https://www.thisisnotgoogle.com
If you hover over the link, you'll see the underlying hyperlink on the bottom left of your screen (in Firefox / ISS, may be in different locations depending on browser and website).
