...knife, star of Crocodile Dundee. Aussies (wrongly pronounced Awzies; the correct pronunciation is Ozzies, though we'd rather you Yanks dropped the dumb pseudointimacy altogether and just called us Australians) are all supposed to be as straight as Harrison Ford or John Wayne, despite our superficially confusing habit of addressing a friend or a stranger of the same sex as "mate...
...hard to say why, apart from habit, there should be any nostalgia for royal forms among Australians, especially when we are so fond of our national antielitism. But people, including Australians, want figures to admire. "If we don't have the Queen, whom can we look up to?" was one of the most frequent complaints at referendum time.

Groups like the Endangered Primate Rescue Center, founded largely on foreign initiative, help keep track of primate populations and train local scientists how to protect them. And while it may foster a habit of donor dependency, the collaboration between local preservation groups and NGOs pays off. One Vietnamese specialist whom Rawson trained has helped record the country's largest single group of grey-shanked douc langurs, a gorgeous monkey with an orange face and white beard that lives in the highlands of central Vietnam...
