Being Australian

an experience of everyday life

When I first moved to Australia, I thought that to be Australian, you had to wear KT26 sneakers, have freckles, and wear stubbies in winter.
 
My friends here have taught me that to be Australian is really to give everyone a fair go, look after your mates, and be honest. Work hard, enjoy life, and appreciate the incredible freedom we have here, that's being Australian.
