It helps that the seasons and school holidays are six months out of phase compared to the US and Canada. In essence, you're comparing Australian winter prices with American summer prices.

    Anecdotal only, sorry. I'm sure it varies by field, and it's more about letters than longer papers. There are probably fields where Nature is excellent, but I know that there is at least one where the odds of a letter to Nature being accurate a few years later is about 50%.

    I've always considered the Australian accent to be fairly homogeneous across regions, but certainly there isn't the extreme diversity that the UK and America have. How much diversity is there, and what are the various characteristics? How long would it take you to tell a Cockroach from a Cane Toad when you meet him in the street?
