Heh! Well, I came over for a short visit many years ago and am still here ... but yes, I wanted to look at them in a wholly different way and the only way that I could do that was to take them out of their context. Plonking them into one where the magic is in the landscape seemed natural -- and why should they be the only English boys who fail to visit Bondi for their gap year (sadly, I ran out of time to write that actual scene).
