Cosy-Up In The Hills

Even though Australia is known for its beautiful landscape, it is also known for its harsh climates. This includes the Queensland floods, the Victorian bush fires, the South Australian heat waves or the Newcastle earthquake. Henry Lawson highlights the harsh climates of the outback in his poem ‘Up The Country’. The line ‘barren rights, gullies, ridges’ highlights the fact that Lawson is not impressed with the pitiless sky and that the outback is extremely dry. The line ‘dreary land in rainy weather with the endless clouds that drift’ means

Bruce Dawe cleverly uses Australian language and the poetic form in his poems “Enter Without So Much as Knocking”, written in 1959 and “Homo Suburbiensis”, written in 1969, to reflect his views of suburban Australia in the 1950s and 1960s and its culture. Dawe’s ideas and attitudes are formed from his personal experiences of post-WW2 Australia which includes the modern living introduced in the suburbs and the commercialism and isolation that it formed. His poem “Enter without so much as knocking” closely links Dawe’s ideas of the new environment suburbia created with the commercialism power structure that came with it. In his poem “Homo Suburbiensis” he effectively explores the isolation and escapism the newly established suburbs post-WW2 Australia thrived on. These views Dawe shares in his poems show the Australian culture of the suburbs post-WW2 including the commercialism, isolation and escapism it brought.

Similarly the idea of Australian life and isolation is depicted in ‘Journey: The North Coast’ where poet is eager to reach home. Perhaps the poet desires to visualise beautiful Australian landscapes as to allow the readers to view the magnificence of flora and fauna in contrast to the man-made destructions. It appears that the poet has been isolated for ‘twelve months’, and Sydney in this case acts as a barrier of poet’s desire towards nature. The title itself symbolises poet’s home and the destination which contradicts to the urban

One of several entry points to the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns gives Aussie a sense of still being attached to a cosmopolitan centre while being a gateway to Queensland’s tropical north. A laid back ambience, partnered with a flair for the sophisticated, is what sets this city apart from others.

The Australian remote landscape, commonly known as ‘the outback’ is a powerful symbol that has shaped the Australian identity. Many foreigners and even locals, without any knowledge of the harsh climate, would enter the desert at the risk of never returning alive. In 2009, two men had perished in the harsh Northern Territory outback. Acting Superintendent Steve Heyworth said, “Both men who died fell victim to the harshness of the arid conditions of the Northern Territory.” This horrific incident is just one example of the severity of ‘the outback’. From this local folklore, a metaphor of the

There are many things to keep yourself occupied and engaged while living in Sedro Woolley.

In “Monkey Hill,” Stan Rice writes about the speaker of the poem who sits at a zoo with his friend observing the spider monkey exhibit. The two stay the whole day to observe these monkeys. The speaker becomes envious of these monkeys and their ability to be confident with exactly where they are and with who they are. Rice argues that our minds imprison us when we are worried about judgment from others. The monkeys in the exhibit felt free and at ease while the two observers were trapped in worrisome about the outside world in fear of how others would perceive them.

A toast to a place above all the rest, this place though odd has captured my heart. I know this isn’t a conventional Burns supper toast, or even a real toast at all. But as I was thinking about which toast I wanted to give; I realized that there was only one place that I wanted to talk about. So firstly, I would like to ask you guys have you ever been to a place that makes you feel happy. A place that even at the mention of its name, you can’t help but think of happy memories you had there. The place that does that for me is the Black Hills of South Dakota. I spent my summer working at a campground in the heart of the Black Hills. So here’s a toast to the Black Hills and all of its natural beauty.

Dear selection panel I am here today because you asked for recommendations on what Australian films should be shown in the Australian film festival held in late 2016. There are obviously the well-known Australian movies films such as ‘Crocodile Dundee’ the 1986 Paul Hogan film or ‘Australia’ the Hugh Jackman film from 2002, two classic and famous Australian films and are all very similar because of their landscapes and characters.

In the short story Vida and Mission Hill Neighbors, we get a glimpse on just how common prostitution is. In different countries, such as Colombia, prostitution is a significant part of the economy and is legal. Although this is a crime in the USA,  we cannot deny that prostitution is occurring due to human trafficking or through a person's choice behind closed doors. Various people stated that since it's already happening in this country that we should just legalize it. However, America should not ever make prostitution legal.
