Cover blurb
The genesis of Young’s composition of ‘The real thing’ is often suggested to have been
Young’s bitter response to a Coca-Cola advertising campaign, which - one assumes - he
felt was aggrandising the product beyond the humble status it deserved as a mere soft
drink. At the time ‘The real thing’ was released, Young was working as a DJ on 3XY,
and was participating in station-related events sponsored by both Coca-Cola and
Pepsi-Cola.

In several ways, tea’s route to Sydney reflected the political geometry of imperial
enterprise. Firstly, the interests of the East India Company were not far from the
officers’ trade. Indeed, with Phillip’s return to England and the colony under Grose’s
governorship, ships’ captains effectively gambled on the Company’s involvement.
Fearing any violations of its monopoly, the Company’s watchdogs readily seized vessels
and cargoes as contraband.

As travel became more accessible in the late nineteenth century, female artists took
their easels and documented flora and fauna in a variety of distant places. Many female
artists travelled to Europe for inspiration and study. They were often financially
independent and were certainly independent of mind. While art school training was
conservative, these women adopted modern forms that moved beyond traditional
training.

In the 1960s, British journalists flocked to Australia to report on British migration, and
having encountered the unfamiliar term whingeing Pom, they had to translate it for their
British readers: ‘The word is pronounced “whinjer,” and the Australians apply it to any
ineffectual but steady grumbler.’
