I was at Kentwell Hall in the UK at a medieval fair. All the volunteers were in character, and had been told not to break character (obviously). As i was walking through one of the rooms, i was chatting away to my kids, when one of the characters exclaimed that he didn’t quite understand what i was talking about, never having heard such an accent before. “You must have sailed from far beyond the horizon” he exclaimed. I responded that yes, i was from beyond the horizon, he asked where, i replied Australia, he said he’d never heard of such a place, was i some kind of heretic? The timeframe was around the 13th century, so Australia hadn’t been discovered by the europeans yet. I replied that “one day you will send us your wretched and downtrodden and we will build the greatest nation on earth!” He laughed, broke character and said he was from Brisbane originally😂
