As a new Australian, who has only been in the country for three decades, what am I to do? I was very moved at Terry Coulthard’s inclusive gesture, his welcoming of me home, but his Muda are not my Muda, and to try to adopt aboriginal mythology would be at best mimicry and at worst appropriation. Even the more recent stories of non-indigenes who have colonised and settled the land are not my stories. And yet my feelings towards the Australian landscape are amongst the strongest emotions I know. Like most Australians, I spend a lot of time in urban environs, but the bush is where I am most happy. I like to go where the aroma of eucalyptus is so strong, so exquisite, that it’s as if shafts of scent beam though the trees, where purple orchids bloom beside the track and brightly coloured grasshoppers, shining like blue and green jewels, jump around my legs; where flocks of black cockatoos whee-laa and squawk and flip through the branches, clowning about as if they are going to crash at any moment, and I like to swim in mountain streams that make me gasp for air and make my skin tingle and glow with energy. The Australian bush has a texture, a smell, a colour and a sound that make me feel whole. It is where I go to be myself; to escape the detrition of daily life; to heal. The Australian landscape is not, however, without its contradictions, not without a hint of dread in the sublime. When my partner and I were walking up around the Nigger Heads to take in the views of Feathertop’s east face, for a short while we followed separate paths and, when we met up half an hour or so later, we had both experienced the same sense of foreboding, a sinister and threatening presence. The scrub had seemed to close in around us and we’d both taken falls. I’d smacked my head on a tree stump giving my self a bad nosebleed. Nothing worse happened, but the ominous feeling only left when we dropped down off the rocky heads and down onto the main track. Similarly, the climbing amphitheatre at Falcon’s Lookout has a menacing atmosphere. My friends and I have had numerous small accidents there – sprained ankles, torn fingers and the like – and I have nearly been hit by a rock that fell from an unlikely place. The uncanny feeling at Werribee Gorge is so strong that I will no longer climb there.Every parent, teacher, and student have to come to their own conclusions about what they think is best for them, their school, and their kids. Currently, parents have the option of sending their kids to a school where kids where uniforms and schools where kids don't. At the end of the day, it is personal taste that is everyone's deciding factor.Davies, J.S: DOLOMITE STRONGHOLDS. The Last Untrodden Alpine Peaks.

She responded with a story of her early life. Before my mother and father met, my mother had a dream of becoming a doctor.I do wonder if any other child could ever have such a mother as mine. I am very proud of being her son, and I think that she is the best mother in the world.Today, my mother doesn't speak French. She says that she really has to think about the words before she can have a conversation. She can still read it and understand what is written, but she has lost the art of conversation. She did mention, however, that every once in awhile she will catch herself thinking in French. She says she is just getting old. My father's father died after a lengthy illness and at the end he reverted back to French. She says it's something like that.Essay: My Mother’s Hatred for meWe as society celebrate and encourage young people to embrace their diversity and individuality. Therefore, it is arguable that making kids wear school uniforms fosters conformity, squashes children's identities, and extinguishes individual thought. Additionally, if there is more than one child in school, the cost of uniforms increases substantially with families feeling uniform costs eating into their budget.
