Their friendship turned into a collaboration when they created the bestselling Alphabetical Sydney, and later, Numerical Street. Summer Time is their tribute to the places and rituals of the Australian summer. They have enjoyed researching Summer Time, testing waterslides and tasting Neapolitan ice-cream for the first time in yonks.
