"...the motherland for all you upside down folks there down under.'
Not quite Mate! Australia has an amazing ethnic diversity with many of us tracing our heritage back to Scotland, in my case Paisley.
Of course we also have many ex Poms (some of us would say too many), originally (240 years ago) as free labour to build our first towns, now essential to welcome the English Cricket Team to yet another English loss in the Ashes series and to fill senior Trade Union positions.
"I get you might want to break away from your past with us, but be careful what you wish for. I massively admire so much in Australia, but you are in danger of becoming ashamed of all aspects of your culture. Your culture is not just aboriginal - it is mixed inextricably now with British, European, Oriental and Middle Eastern culture now too. That is increasingly who we all are."
Very well said my friend!
