Yep, Waltzing Matilda is very much Australian. Its one of Banjo Patterson’s poems that’s been put to music. (Just a note on the other songs/artists, I can’t promise that there isn’t scattered cursing in them, but I think they’re pretty okay for the most part.)
Stations are awesome. And they’re so big I think they would blow your…[Read more]

@seekjustice I didn’t know Waltzing Matilda was an Australian song either! 😮 😛 The title of Click Go the Shears sounds very Australian, though. 😉 I’d love to see a – what do you call it, station? – sometime. We’re more cattle than sheep in America, I think. Thanks for the titles, I’ll look them up!

Well some well known ones would be Waltzing Matilda, Click Go the Shears, Down Under, True Blue…basically anything by Lee Kernaghan…all very Australian.
Ah, lucky you. People always seem to be surprised when they find out I’m homeschooled. As if I’m too normal to be homeschooled. Do you ever get the question: Do you have any…[Read more]

@seekjustice Since you have it in your email, you can just reply to it anyway, I guess. 😉

@seekjustice Well, I accidentally put two spaces between paragraphs, and being a perfectionist (sometimes?) I decided to edit it to make it look nicer. I guess it deleted after that. 😛

I got a notification of your post…but its disappeared???

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
Well, yep, its Australian. Have you heard any other Australian songs?
As are you 🙂 just a question: in America do homeschoolers get typecast as super conservative girls with denim skirts and long hair? Like, half way to being Amish sort of people?

@seekjustice Cool. Well, yes, I guess other people do sing it. 😉 I learned it from a singing teacher we had a really long time ago when I was probably seven or eight years old. I’ve heard it in a medley of folk songs recently, though, and since those were mostly American folk songs I wondered if it was actually Australian or not.
You re…[Read more]

Yeah we sing that song 🙂 I’m pretty sure its actually an Australian song. I didn’t know other people sang it too 😉

@seekjustice Today I was singing the old kiddie song, “Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree,” and wondered if you sing that in Australia, or if it’s just an American song about an Australian animal. So, I’m asking you. 😛

@skredder *claps* Nice!
Ok, this one’s a bit chaotic looking, but that’s what happens when you try to sum up all your characters in one collage. 😛 Viola!Â

@jenwriter17 Oh my goodness! Really!? Great job!
I unfortunately won’t be able to read it yet; I’ll try to read it once I get home from church. But, y’know, it’s Mother’s Day. 🙂
Great job so far!

@kaya-young I’d love for you to read it! I’m gonna edit it, then post it for you and Rochellaine 😀
I like that name! 😉

Rochellaine replied to the topic Writers' Corner #16 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 4 months ago
@kaya-young Interesting. I love tweaking names to make them sound more cool. 🙂
It’s going okay. I’m a really slow writer, so there hasn’t been a whole lot of progress made, though I’ve done a bunch of editing.
Is the story you’re working on a book or a short story?
