--> During our interview, I asked the two couples how they came to be in Adelaide and an unexpected link emerged.

--> They told me that in Iran, most people know Adelaide because of a Japanese cartoon series from the early 1980s called Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow.

--> "In the cartoon there was a family who came to Adelaide from England. They came to Adelaide and settled here, so I can remember Adelaide from my childhood," says Farhad.

--> "They were a family with kids and their neighbour's dog," adds Omid. "And moved to Adelaide by ship."

--> "So," says Farhad, "If you say to someone in Iran 'We are going to Adelaide' they can tell you about that cartoon series as well."
