About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

This is my Iconic Australia Page for the April 2020 Life begins Challenge. For this challenge we have to make a page about a country - one that we have visited or want to visit.
Despite the fact that I was born and raised in New Zealand, and Australia is the country next door, I have never spent any lengthy time in Australia seeing the sites.
Being so close to each other, New Zealand and Australia have a love-hate relationship - especially in sports. Both countries are always trying to outdo the other in sports, especially in rugby and cricket.
There is a lot of travel between the two countries and people from both countries were allowed to live in the other country without a visa up until recently. I beleive the rules have now been tightened up a lot. At least for Australia they have been.
Nevertheless, despite being raised in New Zealand, I have spent a total of 3 days in Australia and I only visited one place that I can remember during that time!!
That was our 3 day stop over in Brisbane in January 1980, while the family were returning home to New Zealand from the Solomon Islands. I have made several pages about the Solomon Islands. I was never able to get back to Australia, and as of now (2020), I still have not been back to that beautiful country.
Everything I have ever seen about Australia is from books, TV, movies, online travel vlogs and videos.
So I made this page to show off what I consider to be iconic Australia - I want to take a camel ride in Broome, see the Kangaroos in Queensland and visit the Sydney Opera House.
