What is it about Australia...?

Question

That just makes you adore it?

I was born and brought up here and I've really struggle with finding a word or sentence to describe what, exactly, is the charm that overpowers you when you live here. My friend from America recently asked me and I had a really hard time trying to describe it to her. Is it a thing that you really will only understand if you live here?

We're simple. Honest. Friendly. Slightly unsophisticated. But advanced enough to keep up with the rest of the world. We love our footy. Cricket is an obsession. Yet, in times of crisis, we really can come together as one.

The lifestyle can be as slow as you want or as fast as you want. The countryside is beautiful. The cities are rich with culture and vibrance.

I don't know what it is... Sigh. But I just love it.

It's a great place unless you come from Adelaide like me. It's gotta be the most boring place out of the big cities in the country anyway. This heatwave we're in is really disgusting! Wish i lived in Melbourne or Sydney.
