Survival

an experience of everyday life

Being Australian is about survival...........from my forebears to the present nothing comes easy to those living in the wide brown land........perhaps its a quality shaped by our environment but I would like to think that it is more a factor of destiny......we are bred tough to be world leaders in equity..........we are too busy making things right for our families to be discrimatory.......we bond
