My aunt sent us from Melbounre among other wedding gifts a clock that has the shape of Australia. My daughter was very happy because she could tell me the time without having to refer to boring digits: “it’s long Darwin short Sydney” I must admit that it took me some time (and a walk to the mao) until I grasped the deeper meaning of this announcement. (Yes, it was 5 p.m.)
