As Dorothea Mackellar wrote in the poem 'My Country'.
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooded rains,
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me!
Today as I celebrated Australia Day with the traditional back yard barbecue, wine & friends in Brisbane; I thought about all the immigrants that today adopted our Land of Oz as their future home.

Australia Day 2009.
What a joyful moment in the lives of these individuals and their families.
