I think its worth pondering the effect being an island has on that sense of identity too. We have autonomy from the mainland through geography alone and always have, which I think is central to who we are. There is a certain feeling of almost nationhood that comes from being a self-contained society I think. Thank you for your insightful comments Michael.

The difference is about local authenticity. How are we combining the best Australian values with an extra dimension the others don't have. I the 21ist Century I'm not sure that dead wildlife captures the great cultural potential of this islands people.
