bonzer, mate

Sometimes I start wishing for a high-quality Aussie show that the world will get fannish over - and then everyone will start writing fic set in Australia, and I'll help beta everyone to make sure they do the swearing correctly, and soon there'll be huge amounts of fic with the characters wearing shorts to their Christmas barbecues and dodging spiders when they go outside and eating pies at footy games...


Then I realise that they'll all do it wrong. And the internet will suddenly be full of fic with people saying "G'day mate!" every few minutes, and having pet kangaroos, and all the OCs will be called Bruce and Sheila.

That makes me less enthusiastic about the whole idea.



(It would, on occasion, be nice to live in a country that people remember exists.)

LOL! Well, I'm sure there's parts of the city that are horrid. I mean, aren't all cities a bit like that?

But some of the pics I've seen seem very beautiful. No doubt you know where all the truly beautiful locales are. I'll look forward to hearing more. :)
