Living with Waltzing Matilda Alan Whicker talks to a cross-section of enterprising 'Poms' who have gone to live and work down under.
Beautiful people abound in Sydney, and more than a few exotic blooms are on display at Lady Primrose Potter 's Fancy Dress Ball, where Diana 'Bubbles' Fisher, society columnist and daughter-in-law of a defunct Archbishop of Canterbury, chronicles proceedings attired as Brunhild. Then there is the annual Sleaze Ball where 6,000 gays in this, the gayest of cities, pogo through the night to the laser lighting of Jeff Hardy who once decked the displays at Fortnum and Mason. But first Alan Whicker meets the man who migrated 12,000 miles from East Ham - to become a dustman - and the orphan abandoned in a Cumbrian workhouse 50 years ago, who is now an Australian Cabinet Minister.
