Antipodean.
Brilliant word. I love how it rolls off the tongue.
I’ve never been to Australia. Would love to, one day. I have family and some friends in a couple of areas.
One day…
But though I’ve not visited, there has been plenty of antipodean influence over my years growing up namely from the shows I watched religiously (Neighbours and Home & Away) and the singers who grew in fame after starring in those shows.
I loved Kylie Minogue. Her early pop played on repeat at one time, on my stereo.
Jason Donovan was another.
Danni Minogue, and even Craig Mclachlan (Remember him?)
I don’t watch the shows anymore. To be honest, I rarely watch TV, now, but I did watch the last Neighbours episode last year.
The end of an era. God Bless Ramsey Street and, especially, Mrs Mangle!
But I Smile Anyway...
