To all my friends from the land down under,
Here are a few things you've made me ponder.
Are boomerangs sticks if they don't come back?
Do kangaroos fear a drop bear attack?
How did you lose a war against emus?
Both our governments just give me the blues.
Maybe I'm new, but just give me a chance,
YouTube makes it seem you all prank and dance.
There's crocs up north and bull sharks all around,
Not safe in the ocean or on the ground.
I liked Mad Max and Crocodile Dundee,
But I think it's time to shake off the queen.
Little known fact, but I love your accents.
There's one last thing that's causing some suspense.
Some people claim Australia isn't real,
I sure hope my mates can tell me the deal.
Haha love this mate, on the note of how did we loose a war against the emus?
A note for those who wonder, from those who know - emus are hard as fuck, are mostly all leg and neck and fucking fast too boot.
They are way more adapt, at leggen it across shit terrain then the cars at the time - and there's some that say they may have hit one or two, with the heavy machine guns the military gave them to use.
As for the rest all good questions, love the post - cheers :)

I think that was a malicious rumor started by some Kiwi jealous about who got the bigger island.

I only learned if the great western front war with the umus from you. We lost to big scary birds.
Why were we killing birds again?
I'm sure I've seen footage of a beached whale in your country being blown up.
What was the question again?
Real? Sometimes I do wonder if all that I claim to be tangible is but a figment of my ego. Created for my own amusement. However I am seldom amused. And further more if we are not real then my ego is but a projection as well.
But from where? And to what end? What is the purpose of this construct?

On a serious note, I'm afraid Clay speaks the truth. We disappeared in 2013.
The entire Australian mainland has been excised from the migration zone in a bid to deter the arrival of asylum seekers.
We removed our entire shoreline.
"...changed the law to suit their policies. This doesn't change the fact that this is an inhumane, ineffective and expensive policy that ignores Australia's responsibilities to people who need our protection."
mobile.abc.net.au/news/2013-05-16/parliament-excises-mainland-from-migration-zone/4693940
One by one we removed the outer perimeter of our territory from inclusion in our migration zone until finally only the mainland shore was left. Then when refugees tried dangerously to reach the mainland to claim their international legal right of refugee status, we said, "FUCK THAT queue jumpers", and we legislated to disappear our shore and with it our international and humanitarian legal obligations to the world's most vulnerable. In doing so we were able to send them to neighbouring countries with the promise that they will never access their rights.
The UN found Australia to be in breach of international human rights in 2015. Yet we still uphold this disgraceful practice with phrases like, illegal immigrants, boarder protection, pacific solution, asylum seekers WHY DON'T WE SAY REFUGEES? Because refugees have rights.

Sorry Clay
I'll go back and stand at my imagined little window and look at something less confronting.
Ahhhh that's better.
Out of sight out of mind.
