the concept explained

Being?

Being Australian?

Being Australian is about "being" -- that is, the experience of a moment in time that is palpable, alive and real, that suddenly has you sense and connect viscerally, spiritually or emotionally with 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.
