Beating the predators...
Minature 'Kangaroo Paw' - an Australian wild flower.
When I first came to Australia, I waited an agonising six months for my registration to come through. Before I could have an interview, I was requested to find a local person as a personal referee to put with my overseas references and C.V. Australian? I didn't know any Australians...they had to be kidding.I didn't think it would really be suitable. "Do they have to be Australian?" , I asked. Unfortunately, the emphatic reply was,"Yes". Well, the only Australian that I knew was my sister's friend, so that was what it was going to have to be. I got the job, but I still sweat when I recount that I got my first job in Australia on the assurance of 'the chick in the fish and chip shop'.
