Geraldine Hickey, comedian
For comedian Geraldine Hickey, meal times were very Aussie. Dinners were spent sitting in a line with her five siblings along a long kitchen bench, with Mum on a stepping stool on the other side.

Almost as delicious as the dim sims from the truck stops where she stopped while keeping her truck driver Dad company on interstate trips. Join Savva and Gez as they chat a...
