THE term Never-Never Land refers to an imaginary place that is perfect.

It is usually assumed to have come from JM Barrie's book Peter Pan, in which it is the place where Peter Pan and the Lost Boys live.

But Barrie did not invent the phrase as it had been used long before his book to describe the remote, barely populated northern parts of Australia.
