First Dog on the Moon writes a love letter to Australia:
Hello Australia, I have always loved you.
There isn’t space here to list everything as Australia takes up a lot of space.
I love standing still in the bush when it is pushing 40 degrees…
I love watching Test cricket. With the sound on the TV off and the ABC radio on…
Geez we can be funny buggers though. I love that. And the way we talk, I reckon if the science could work out a way to weaponise an accent, Australian voices could blast a hole in the moon. Yeah nah
I love the fact that everyone’s taken to be equal, how we talk about our leaders as Bob and Paul and Johnny and Kevin and Julia and Tony and Mal, none of this formality nonsense.
I love how “She’ll be right,” is a legitimate attitude to just about everything.
Love this peice.
