What do you think of when you think of "australia," & what do you picture when something is referred to as being "australian"?

I picture a wide open landscape with a huge range of diversity in culture and biology (flora and fauna). I picture the australian culture as being uniquely "Australian"
I picture a bogan wearing trackiedacks and a flanno jacket, slap of Carlton(or VB if you're an easterner), pack of ciggies in breast pocket and drives a late 80's/early 90's Holden/Ford

What does it mean to you to live in Perth (or Western Australia)?

It means we are better than the rest of Australia (except for maybe Tasmania). It also means relaxed, laid back and not having to worry about the issues most of eastern australia is having to deal with at the moment.
It means everything is cheap, and our beaches rule, and we have the most scenic landscape in all of Australia. Take THAT NSW!

What does being Australian mean to you?

That I was born in Australia, grew up in Australia and that I will uphold the Australian way of life until I am dead and rotting :)
That we are doomed to become the second America, and stores should sell more meat pies...

What are the things that you do in your leisure time now, & as a kid?

As a kid, probably went to the beach (a lot), and generally spent a lot of time outdoors. Now, well, cars. Lots of cars... preferably moving at speed. Either that or being outdoors in general :)
As a kid, masturbated. Now, well, masturbate... but to more diverse materials...

What is your favourite place in WA?

Albany, for heaps of reasons (both sentimental and not). Mostly for its beauty, pace, and way of life :)
Bed

What is your favourite place in Perth?
Probably Kings Park due to the whole me liking scenery and natural stuff. Otherwise most of the beaches and hills areas are pretty awesome too...
Bed

TADA!

Thats one of the 4 layout pages. They're A4, with cut outs of each image in thumbnail size with their file name below them, then blue-tacked to where it was going to end up. Took Paula and I a long time to do. 3 days of not being able to use my coffee table.

And this is a close up of one of the pages (still in digital format). Its' page 17 (of 20)
