In the article, the author reflects on their longstanding admiration for Kylie Minogue, dating back to her early acting days as Charlene in 'Neighbours'. They humorously recount a mishap involving a picture of Minogue and share their fascination with Australian culture, including the unusual rivalry with New Zealand. With upcoming tour plans in Australia, the author contemplates the peculiar animosity between the two nations and draws parallels to regional rivalries in Britain, illustrating a light-hearted exploration of national and cultural identities.
After a wrap party, I'd had a few wines so I tried to get it off the wall to take it home. It was so screwed on that all I did was crack the glass and cut my finger.
The antipathy towards New Zealand! It's so extraordinary. The hostility is off the scale. New Zealand's beauty doesn't take away from the extraordinary natural beauty of Australia.
I fell for [Kylie Minogue] when she was Charlene in Neighbours. Australian girls were the pin-ups for everybody in England.
There was a picture outside my dressing room of Kylie Minogue singing to Kermit the Frog. She looked so exquisitely beautiful, and Kermit, of course, is very cute as well.
