I'd be interested to know more about how children's book publishing works in Australia. Are there government grants/subsidies, as I think there have been in Canada? How was the break made from reliance on books originally published in England?
Also, I think I recall first seeing Australian picture book in U.S. editions around the same time that Australian movies were starting to be released here
(My Brilliant Career was the very first one I was aware of). Has there been any cross-over, or cross-influences, between the people involved in the Australian film and picture-book worlds? Were these two creative bursts part of something larger, some kind of cultural coming-of-age?
