"It brought me a new understanding of how, unless you're connected with the land, you're not really connected with yourself or the nation. And Australians, I think, are slowly beginning to realise that the land owns us, we don't own the land. It's taken climate change to achieve that. And you get this sense of forces which are outside your control."


"But it was in Australia that I gained my first impressions of the beauty of the world, and it was the Bush that taught me. "
