CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Bill Bailey's English accent has completely absorbed two days into his Australian Adventure, and his whole accent has been ingrained. He's gone native. 'Good on yer, mate,' cries at passers-by, who sounds more Australian than Dame Edna. Bill is a passionate traveller, as we saw a few years ago when he traveled to Iceland on Ch4's Travel Man, he seemed to enjoy it more than host Joe Lycett.

The people of Western Australia are eager to talk. Perhaps that's a result of the poor population of 2.8 million people spread over a region 13 times the size of Great Britain. Bill may have been the first human they'd seen in weeks for some of them.
