WELLINGTON/MELBOURNE, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Australian shares fell 0.7 percent on Thursday, with miners and property groups dragging the market lower as the U.S. dollar rose, after an unconvincing rally on Wall Street.

The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index .AXJO lost 32.1 points to finish at 4,508.0.

New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 index .NZ50 also fell 0.7 percent, ending at 3,144.5. (Reporting by Sonali Paul and Adrian Bathgate)
