Happy Australia Day! (Well, it was.)

The day brought me mixed feelings of pride and shame, but not in the way many might expect.

I love this sunburnt country for both its stunning variety of spectacular and unique landscapes and also the diverse, multicultural yet authentically Australian people. Whether of British, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, New Zealander, Chinese, Canadian, Greek, Sudanese, Indian, Vietnamese, Russian, Iranian, Israeli, Salvadoran, or American heritage; we are all one.
