I think Stew is right about Australia in that we are keen to get overseas and see what is happening and then try and adapt to our own use. My father travelled to the USA and Europe in the 1970's to find sources of coloured glass and had a big part in the revival of leadlights in Australia by bringing glass from Kokomo, Bullseye and Saint Just back to Australia. Although this industry has suffered from imports in recent years we are continually looking for other products and Australians are quick to pick up a trend and go with it. Look forward to your comments on your visit to our shores. Joe Ellen it was great to meet you at our National Conference.
