The Story
Albert Cross was 16th century England’s greatest landowner and celebrated inventor of the microscope. Or rather, he would have been had he not been born 500 years later in 21st century Australia. This quirk of fate limited his notoriety to fluorescent green running shorts that prompted glances from passersby.
