I interviewed Gerard Gilet - a well regarded Australia luthier a few years back, he's a wealth of knowledge about the Aussie guitar scene. One of the biggest influences on the scene was actually Charles Fox - a couple of Australians trained with him in the 70's or 80's and went back with what they learned.
Sadly i lost the interview - it was an hour long talk on the history of Australian guitar making. Brilliant.
