I'm glad that I can live in one of the most ancient pieces of land in the world with rich, diverse natural surroundings and cultural heritage. Leo
Multiculturalism is what makes me proud to be Western Australian. The sanctuary and familiarity of WA is what attracted my family here where they could live the same life, all the way on the other side of the world. Julian
I'm a New Zealand Australian and I'm more a New Zealander. They are very different mothers. I love them both. What I love about this West Australian mother is that she is spacious. Her light, her blueness, that red earth. Deborah
