Ah right. It's been 10-15 years since I read those books and as a child does I imagined them being set where I live. There was nothing particularly Australian in any of them. So when I saw the show and it was obviously set in Australia featuring Australians who lived in a lighthouse (?) I just assumed they'd half-inched the plots.

Haha, ok yeah, I can imagine how that must have been a bit weird. When I read them in school, he was getting quite a few awards for his writing, so we all knew he was an Australian writer. In my head, all his stories were set here :p
