the concept explained

Being?

Being Australian?

Being Australian is about "being" -- that is, the experience of being in a moment that is alive and real, that suddenly has you realize the ‘Australianness’ of the moment.

"Being" also means someone is doing something or something is happening and we are involved in it -- even if only as observers.
