As kids, my two brothers and I were hugely athletic, so we were always outdoors, kicking a football, riding motorbikes, surfing together, or playing water polo. We didn’t live in a suburban setting; our nearest neighbour was a couple of miles away in the Dandenongs, east of Melbourne. We fought like all siblings do, but mostly we had the same enthusiasms, interests and hobbies. And we were there for each other in times of need. Something I’m very aware of is that I wanted to have kids young, so I’d be athletic enough to keep up with them.

For a while, that was the go-to story. I had a conversation with Liam about it recently, because it makes us sound like we’re these macho bastards who are battling all the time. People always gravitate towards the more shocking stories, so they ask me, “Hang on, you guys used to have fights with ninja stars, chasing each other around with saws?” And, um, yeah – but who didn’t? It was becoming a cliché. My dad said that we were making it sound like we grew up in the Dark Ages.
