I remember catching up with couple from Finland while on one of my many trips abroad, and commented how good their English was. Their response was the amount of indoor living, because of the winter, encouraged more knowledge based learning than enjoying the great outdoors.
In the 90's the Keating govt, knowing the value of concentrated synergy, encouraged the creation of 'tech polis' precincts and South Oz was quick out of the blocks .... not surprisingly hedonism won out.
We surely are the 'lucky country' enjoying the innovations of other countries without having to bother with the boring bits.
