Canadian singer and teacher Peter Shaw, whom I am honored to call a good friend, was recently interviewed by Australian radio about his life as an Australian expatriate in Canada for the past 34 years. Peter has a one-man mission to educate Canadians (and some Americans) about Australia. He says that the question he is most often asked is whether Australians fear the poisonous snakes, but he is forced to answer that the only snakes he has seen are in zoos.
