An example of the reach of this guy's appeal is how I heard about him for the first time. Maybe I was late to the party, I dunno, but I was staying in a backpackers in Vancouver, Canada, in July 2017, and two English lads came in from their day at Grouse Mountain, absolutely cacking themselves laughing over something they were watching, clearly on repeat, on one of their phones. Me wearing something clearly Australian, they mentioned him and were surprised I had no idea what they were on about so they showed me.
Two English fellas on tour in Canada were my introduction to this Aussie legend.
