They’re not from Melbourne so the bullshit detector was already going off obviously, but significantly, they are at pains not to be seen as coming from Sydney either. Can’t blame them. Instead they’re billed as hailing from The Blue Mountains (about 40 miles west of Sydney) – which sounds a whole lot folksier, rootsier. But in reality it’s not much more than a commuter belt of dormitory towns and villages surrounded by a sprawling national park, prone to terrible forest fires.
Shall I reminisce about my teenage years spent in The Lower Blue Mountains? Perhaps not.
