Okay, technically there is no outback in this story, but we are talking about a figurative outback. The kind of outback in your soul that leaves you dry, baked and scorched like the rubber on a Sydney western suburbs hoon’s tyres. You see the last two years, Australians have been stretched like a kangaroo pouch filled with 12 joeys… Okay, that never happens, but I digress.
Remember the Australian fires of Dec 2019 - Jan 2020? Those monster ones that basically required firefighters from all over the world to come and help, have killed off millions of precious wildlife and caused the deaths of multiple citizens? Oh yeah, that was a shocker. Well our nation haven’t even gotten the fires completely under control when bloody Covid broke out. To say that the Australian spirit and identity have been put through the ringer, is defo an understatement...
Crickey, let’s get back to the 'WHY', before we bloody get worked up again.
You see, Straya.Rocks is run by people who have fallen in love with the Aussie spirit. From its people, our unique and hilarious slang, our mateship culture, our can-do digger attitudes, our generosity, entrepreneurial spirit, our uniquely hilarious humour, our contagious love for fun and adventure, our beautiful and diverse landscapes and incredible natural beauty, our unique wildlife… the sunburnt country with its multiplicity of people and ancient cultures. Aussies are a pretty special bunch of people! Despite our diversity in origins from all over the world from those whom have made this lucky country their home and those who have been here for generations, there is a unique, true blue Aussie spirit that have taken a knock the last 2-3 years.
