Belly, your house burnt down?

No jewely, no fire here.
It refers to the Aussie ability to get knocked over get up and start running again.
The opposite of putting life in other hands and coasting.
Lexi, age 11 mum in hospital for 8 months.
Dad working to feed us a long way from home.
I took over the running of our very remote country home.
With help from every kid we saw dad one weekend in two , things make us what we are.
I think just maybe, a softness in some is like life once learned we mostly can get by no matter what.
But we do have those who wrongly, say why worry it will be ok.

We Aussies jewely are not that much different than Kiwis.
This morning I got out of bed very concerned about the CRISIS.
What are we to do.
England is beating us in the cricket.
But wait,joy, great happiness Anthony Mundene got knocked out.
Australia cheers.
If you can under stand us you are already Aussie.
Only in a country so in love with sport can it happen, more people are insanely happy, because one of our champs got beaten.
Me very much included.
A photo would make a great screen saver any one help?

Strangely the word “Kiwi” excludes Maoris’ and I identified closely with that community there . Sports doesn’t interest me although it fascinates me that generally 15 minutes of a half hour news show is dedicated to it here.

I fell in love with Aussie working and living on a sheep and cattle farm outside of Tenterfield when I was 20-21. I’ve travelled to every major city in Aussie (yep Tassie as well) and a hell of a lot of the little ones. I’ve travelled one end to the other on every main Aussie road and skinned more Roos than I can count. All I ever wanted was to return and it took me years but I finally made it.

Now I am just so bloody disappointed that it regularly brings me to tears. I have e-mail after e-mail from outraged and devastated Australians, they often describe themselves as “broken” by what is going on – but just e-mails mate, just to me, not quite willing to put the outrage anywhere else because bit scared of the consequences mate.

No, I don’t understand you, I thought I did once but now when I hear “not me mate” it comes from a whole other place.

Thats ok mate,I thought I under stood you once jewels And no longer do.
But such is life , could go on but no see I really want to be able to post without blues.
We are never going to share views you questioned me about my dislikes, yet it is impossible for me to think any one can not see why I hold them.
Lets leave it there Julie, all the best but we need to leave it.

I didn't mean you Belly I meant the "you" as in "Aussies".

Why they wont stand up when outraged, why there is so much fear.

The secrecy is all about fear, silencing scared people because they themselves are scared and on it goes.
