My top Australian Times moment
Rocking out to The Living End at Koko’s

Favourite Aussie:
Film or TV show: I am obsessed with Heath Ledger. I cried when he died.
Sports star: I once met Dennis Lillee and didn’t know who he was. That’s how into sport I am.
Music: Empire of the Sun
Snack: Vegemite with cheese. Nom nom nom.

What I miss most about home
Cocktails by the pool

My nugget of golden advice for surviving the UK
Be ruthless on the tube and don’t give your seat up for anyone.
