The turning point was my dad had given me a hiding because he thought I'd stolen something, which I hadn't.

I love this man.

I'd stolen something from him.

And I never forget that.

I remember that hiding I got, the one and only.

I remember that.

And that hurt my heart and hurt my soul.

And I wanted the ground to swallow me up, take me away from that.

I left.

I left that.

I left that day broken, broken.

My auntie gave me an opportunity.

She said, look, would you like to come to Australia some time out, get your mum over from England, and she can meet you sort of halfway, and you decide what you want to do.

Long story short, mum came over, I went to Australia.

The moment I got off there as a 13-year-old child, you know, all those, you know, it smelt like Summer Bay, all those things that Sydney has, the allure, as most Kiwis know who might be watching this over there in Australia, kia ora.

Yeah.
