I think coming out to Australia, you've got to realize that it's a much smaller market. Everyone knows everyone, so you've got to make sure you're on, you know, your best behavior and you're, you know, looking good, your brand's good, and that you're creating relationships. Because in Australia, I think it can take a much longer time to break into a client and, you know, develop that relationship, whereas in the UK, you know, people are keen on a bit of spot business and then, you know, I'm not going to take your call for a year.
