There is no land better, there is no land more beautiful, there is no land with more wonders, there is no land with more beauty in it's beaches, there is no land with more beauty in it's mountains, deserts or plains, and there is no better place to live, and to call it home.

There has been no one better than our pioneers, ancestors, indigenous people, culture, achievers, and most of all, our soldiers who died for us and kept this great land of ours free to do as we wish, our way.

Australia, we are one, and to the spirit of Australia, our home, our land, our people, and our culture, let's keep it that way.

So let's take this opportunity to tell everyone about this great land of ours, by sharing our stories, past, present and history, of what it's like to be Australian.

Yep You hit the nail on the head Merri, We have our share of problems here but compared to many nations our is truly wonderful. The fact that we can air our views online is something that we take for granted, In some countries You could be jailed or executed for doing it. We have a functional democratic government and living standards that are the envy of the world. So concentrate on the good, for it outweighs the bad by a hell of a lot. australia thumbs up grin

I had the fortune, of knowing my great grandmother, a lady from the days when times were very pressing and stressful. She went through the great depression and two world wars. She saw a relative go down with the Titanic, she lost relatives in both world wars, she saw a son go off to the second world war, she raised his sons children as if her own during that period, but she never complained.

I used to love going to her house and sampling the old style of cooking, the best meals I have ever eaten, the stories she used to tell, both terrible and the good.

She told me a story I will never forget, the last time I saw her about her mother, and Ned Kelly. Her mum,(my great great grandmother) was out in her yard chopping wood and the Kelly gang rode up to the house, she immediately recognised them and drew a derringer pistol (a miniature 2 shot weapon) from her stocking.

Ned Kelly, quietly said to her, Lady we are not going to hurt you, we just want to know if you could give us some water and some flour to feed some hungry people and children that we know?

My great great grandmother, placed the derringer back into her stocking and obliged, Ned Kelly thanked her and then rode away with the gang, they never returned or pestered her again. My great grandmother obtained possession of the derringer after her mum passed away, but had given it to one of her sons, and I never saw it, I believe it is now lost. australia

It's important to tell buddy, it's important to share in the hope of educating people that are brainwashed and not told what it was like. Like it or leave..absolutely, but let us not shut our mouths and hide our history.handshake
