THE BEST COME FROM THE WEST

CHATTING to West Australian actress Rachael Blake at GCFF and we wondered why so many of our brightest stars of stage and screen have come from or studied in WA (Hugh Jackman, Heath Ledger, Tim Minchin, Frances O’Connor to name drop a few). “It may have something to do with the isolation as we all want to get out and discover the world. Also Perth is a flat city so you need a good imagination to enjoy it,” she said. “Acting was my passion so I always knew it was what I wanted.”
