Sydney or the bush - all or nothing.

Hrothgar, I'll refrain from making comments about banana benders..
:-)

well said, Azizi, but THAT family has nothing to do with the Australian bush...

The Australian bush is a scarred, wild landscape, large enough and lonely enough for white people to get completely lost in, steeped in mystery and walked for eons by our indigenous aussies.

across the country it's varied enough and beautiful enough to lure people into decades of "bushwalking", and to seduce artists poets and songwriters into new forms of work. our indigenous artists' work is unique, having evolved out of stories and colours of our unique landscapes.
