Whicker's World

on BBC One London

Living with Waltzing Matilda Alan Whicker talks to a cross-section of enterprising poms who have gone to live and work down under.
Jane Makim , born in London, lives a hard life in the rugged outback of New South Wales. In 1986 she was in London on important family business - the wedding of her younger sister. But this was no ordinary wedding: her sister, Sarah Ferguson , was marrying Prince Andrew. Back at the ranch in the drought plain on the Queensland border Jane reflects on a lifestyle that could hardly be less like that of her more famous sister. Capt John Alliston , RN also decided to settle with his wife Eleanor in a remote corner of Australia. On a deserted island off Tasmania, they eked out a precarious living and raised a large family.
