Indigenous Australians (Those called in the past *aborigines* but never "natives".) use the term "Country" to describe the lands their tribe is custodian to. So where I live, in Canberra, is called also "Ngunnawal Country" and I am honoured to live in a suburb (Town.) named Ngunnawal. I took this photo here in Ngunnawal Country just the other day. Everything in it speaks to me of My Country, the tough, smoky green grass, the ghostly white of the gum trees, the clear blue of the sky and the unassailable dignity of the Old Man Roo on the skyline. This is My Country and this image says more to me about who I am than the flag ever will.
Peace.
Mikel.

You certainly expressed your sentiments very well with this upload and started to make me feel proud about the country that I love, even though I've never been to your country. I think the things that make up a home in anyone's country are the familiar things that Mother Nature has given each of us to enjoy in our own way. You've made a great point, and I agree with you.

I want to sail away into the night sky.
Nice pic Mikel, like the composition, subject seems to co-operate very well, me being in the motion picture industry i keep thinking the director is going to ask for a couple more takes of the impossible, what do you mean the "roo" hopped off, we arent finished the shot!!
Welcome to my world... jokes aside, Mikel this picture really does compliment your sentiments, thanks for sharing i really like it.

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile.

Excellent capture and your words have truly painted this picture with a warmth that fills the heart.
But on a lighter note the theme song from "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" comes to mind! That Roo looks likes he's ready for a standoff! lol! Well done :)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

A wonderful narrative Mikel, and well put. This Kangaroo is a magnificent fella, and could work for the tourist bureau. Thanks for a fantastic view you can be proud of :^>

I need to catch up on things so can't comment too much. But I love all of your fine images :)
Such a magnificent capture of this cutie and I agree with that's the way I think of Australia.
