love thinking of you thinking of australia! australians were so scorned in my london workplace (late 90s) ‘always with the bloody backpacks’ … v. keen to read this!
I've heard about that attitude too but at the small Penguin imprint I worked at we loved our Aussies - one guy was a digital art expert (digitising Peter Rabbit!) and the other in production but he went on to become a successful children's author in the UK - so he and I kind of swapped! Back then we just played guitar, sang and smoked, and romanticised each other's homelands.
