Additional information: Looking down the long line of coast this morning as I begin these lectures I see the first rays of the sun strike Mount Warning and am aware, as the light floods west, what a distance it is to the far side of our country-two time zones and more than three thousand kilometres away, yet how easily the whole landmass sits in my head-as an island or, as I sometimes think of it, a raft we have all scrambled aboard, a new float of lives in busy interaction. 1998 ABC Boyer lecture, A Spirit of Play The Making of Australian Consciousness
