"I love Indigenous [Australian] culture, because of its age. And the English stuff was really amazing too when I first got over and had a look. Westminster Abbey for instance; my wife and I stood there going 'wow this plaque here in this grave is 700 years old' ... but I was just in the [Northern] Territory about a month ago and I saw a painting that was apparently 30,000 years old ... I'm very lucky to have seen both I reckon," said Troy.
