Donald Horne dies at 83The Lucky Country, Australia is a lucky country, run by second-rate people who share its luck.Ironic how that became quoted out of context.
I think we should realise that 'the lucky country' provides a descriptive phrase, condemning Australia for what it was, whereas the clever country is a pre-scriptive phrase, suggesting to Australia what it might become.Donald Horne - Australian Biography

"The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart." - Iris Murdoch
^That's me^ Believe or not
cileo is an slightly organised and irrevalent look at cycling and sustainable transport in Melbourne, Australia, overseas, and possibly all sorts of stray ephemera that gets caught in between. I adore bicycles (and kittycats), and as Wilf Lunn once uttered, "You learn something new every day if you're not careful....."
Tell people something they know already and they will thank you for it.Tell them something new and they will hate you for it. George Monbiot
