Quotes Challenge: Australia

Milae from LifeExperimentalBlog has challenge me with the 3 Day Quote Challenge. Head on over to Milae’s blog for some great quotes for this time of month, and for some really cool ideas for you to experiment with.

Here’s how the quote challenge works:

There are 3 Challenge rules:

You need to post for 3 days in a row
You must pick 1-3 quotes daily
In each post, you must challenge 3 bloggers

Today, I nominate:

Mini2z
Kurstin Graham
Lucky Sketch

Today I thought we’d look at a fascinating place instead.

Australia—a continent/country sitting in a strange part of my personal world image. Down Under where stranger than fiction animals thrive, most of them trying to kill you…or so Billy Connelly (warning: Language) insisted. From the vibrant ocean brimming with killer sharks, and killer jellyfish to the vast Outback brimming with killer spiders and snakes and…land.

It wasn’t until I visited this Great Southern Land myself (I’I think one of the best things about Oz is their music), that I truly understood the mental geography of that part of my mind’s world map labelled Here Be Monsters And Horrendous Stuff. The truth is Australia has many labels, but few of them do her justice. And Australians are a great bunch, heatstroke and all.

So, to give you a taste of this truly contradictory, yet magical country, I offer you these three quotes, one of which still has me scratching my head and thinking about Hoop Snakes.

And that brings us to the end of the Three Day Quote Challenge:)
