Q1: If you had to choose would you be a kangaroo or a koala and why?
Well, while the rigors (comparative, no snow) of an Australian winter lean me towards being a fluff ball in a tree, I think a kangaroo or wallaby would be better. Wallabies are cuter and smaller and fluffier versions of kangaroos. I also did a stint cleaning koala cages in a zoo once, so I am a bit less keen on koalas after that experience!
Q2: Why is time travel like playing with a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff?
Because look how flexible we have imagined time can be! We can travel backwards by excavating things from thousands of years ago, and hold in our hands a letter written by a soldier missing things from home. We can open a book and travel forward, into the myriad pathways of scifi. We can do both of these things in a moment of time, today. Extraordinary, really.
Q3: Aussie slang is known for its odd contractions – which is your favourite and why?
I think my favourite is yous. As in ‘see yous later, yous lot’. It is a word that aggravates people with a sense of grammar, and I tend to use it a lot. More a made up word, so a proper contraction – sarvo. As in ‘this afternoon’ – ‘Seez ya sarvo.’ Or, ‘I will see you this afternoon’.
