..."Friends have always asked me why am I so obsessed with this country. I countered what aren't there that you could not be obsessed about? The nearest country to Asia that is not Asian (you can say all you want John Howard) and despite the increasing Asian population and influences, remained very staunchly ivory western and ebony aboriginal at heart. A country of an island, blessed with rich natural irony. Jaw dropping natural wonders across the entire spectrum: Deserts, mountains, waterfalls, tropical jungles and that thing everyone called the Great Barrier Reef co-existed with some of the strangest and deadliest creatures you may find on this planet: The platypus (the only mammal with a sting), fiery spiders, insidious jellies and 11 of the world's most venomous snakes. I have come a long way and truly enjoy the company of the folks who cheer "Aussie Aussie Oui Oui Oui!", who can be brazenly frank, sarcastic and sometimes tactless. Then again, if I want Asian modesty, I would have stayed home"...

I believe that thesse incidents are rare and isolated and you will not experience this level of intolerance at most major destinations. | aberacadabra Thu Nov 8, 2007 04:33 UTC
Covert racism is alive and well, if not gathering steam. The most racism I've ever encountered was in QLD and it's strange that when you travel south of the border into NSW and Victoria, you feel human again. Great site you've got here. | SWFC_Fan Sat Jun 24, 2006 11:35 UTC
It's a shame about the Asian teams, mate......I was hoping Korea would progress at France's expense! ;-) Who will you be cheering for at Wimbledon? | robertgaz Tue May 30, 2006 05:58 UTC
It's hard to beat an Oz brekky to start the day... and yes, 1 in 3 Aussies are of Irish descent :~) |
