Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.”

“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
