just realised this is #Australia rising there 🥲 #moon #earth #space #straya

sitting at my desk, wonder where suddenly crunching sounds come from... looking out the window and find three sulphur crested cockatoos each with a Riz cracker in hand having late lunch on my neighbour's balcony 🤪 #straya

i found it

i finally found it

after decades of occasional looking for it but never finding it

last, only, time i saw it was on b&w tv as kid, in the early 70s

a confused embarrassed shy hormonal kid

didn't know where to look

wonder how i'll react to it now, a lifetime later, with much water under amazing bridges

@fullfathomfive 2003. Arrived as migrants with 100% optimism thinking we’d chosen the lucky and fair country with the brightest future. That little rat-cunning man was defying public protests and sending our defence forces off to fight someone else’s war as we touched down in Sydney.
Words cannot express my disappointment in #auspol in the ensuing 23 years

remember the strayan cultural cringe of the 60s & 70s? the obsessive demand of reporters at airports five seconds after some "celeb" arrives for them to answer "so how do you like straya?" then the cringeworthy ads from TA thru the 80s n 90s?

i note, & enjoy, the stark contrast now when it's commonplace for OS papers, magazines, news-sites, blogs et al, to simply mention in some story "today in brisbane..." & "happening this month in adelaide..." & "sydney's blah blah blah" & "is tassie rool?" [just kidding!] etc, without ever anymore needing to geographically contextualise.

hey, wait...

oh, maybe that's not actually welcome progress after all...

can we pul-ease go back to anonymity?
