Australia - Original Writing
We were there we had made it unbelievably though I was feeling like a
vodka martini, shaken not stirred and too much ice! The plane was
worse than a poorly made air fix. You could hardly call it air
conditioning it was more like you were sitting in a freezer with
wings. Thank god this was only from Malaysia to Darwin and not all the
way round the world. The plane was like one of those toys that has a
pull cord and when you pull it the flipping thing sings and vibrates,
you know the ones that girls have hanging off there bags that flick
round and hit you in the street. But any how we had made it we were in
Australia.
The heat that hit us as we entered the airport was nice, well warmer

so I had wondered why on earth we were on the bloody thing. My mum had
talked to the driver and he took us to where he thought we should go
not where my mum asked. It was the wrong place! It was about a 10 min

Without a glitch we had found the campsite. I was beginning to calm
down a bit know, but we were the other side of the world in the

After finding the campsite, Howard springs and the springs, we could
relax but it seemed impossible, because of the atmosphere, it was so
different so incredibly relaxed and we weren’t used to that so we
couldn’t. Have you ever had that feeling when you are somewhere that
Australian humour is very unique to Australia, and many other cultures find it quite unusual. It can be described as dry, anti-authoritarian, self-mocking, very ironic and as to stretch the boundaries of what is acceptable. Our humour is seen through our use of slang, print cartoons, radio sketches, comedy series’ on television, films, everyday life and in Australian literature. According to the Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus , humour means, “The quality of being funny; the ability to appreciate or express that which is humorous; situations, speech or writings that are humorous”. Due to its unique qualities, it will become apparent that Australian humour is quiet different to that of America and England and other nations. To highlight the importance of humour through the development of Australian identity, five main elements have been identified. These are, the part Australian humour plays in Australian identity, its unique qualities, its integral part in the Australian identity, the role of humour in times of great hardship and other nation’s perceptions of Australian humour. It is through these elements that it will become evident that humour is an important part of the development of the Australian identity.
