Not only that, we do world leading and ground breaking medical research here too.
Everybody wonders how we do it. Its all "Aussie know how" and we keep it simple by loving beer, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars.
We also have no pretentious social class structures to tie us up in knots and prevent collaboration between theorists and engineers, which is a disease that severely affected the UK in the development of computers in the 1950s and allowed IBM and the collaborative structures in Silicon Valley to get the jump on them.
Around here, engineers, scientists and everyone at the coal face have barbecues with the professors at the weekends. So we cut through a lot of the barriers and get the jobs done. Its great to be an Aussie.
