Leaves Australia
After the end of the 2007 S14 season it was leaked to the press and Hewat himself that he was not in the reckoning for a Wallaby position and will not be included in the squad. This left Hewat disillusioned and resulted in his decision to consider lucrative offers from oversees.

Famous quotes containing the words leaves and/or australia:
“Laid out for death, let thy last kindness be
With leaves and moss-work for to cover me:
And while the wood-nymphs my cold corpse inter,
Sing thou my dirge, sweet-warbling chorister!
For epitaph, in foliage, next write this:
Here, here the tomb of Robin Herrick is.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
