No, the title does not imply I'm making a sequel to the ill-conceived 2008 Baz Lurhmann film (which was not a documentary about The Lucky Country, narrated by Wolverine and The Tall Chick Who Used to be Married to The Scientologist. In fact, it is the 2nd highest grossing Australian film of all time. Can you guess the first?)
Actually, the title of this post refers to my renewed conviction to this land of convicts. While I truly enjoyed seeing all of you lovely people from my past on my trips home, going back twice in rapid succession, so soon after I've made this move did nothing but reconfirm how much I miss all of you and miss home. It was perhaps a mistake because this never allowed me to give Australia the fair chance it deserved.
This is a reaffirmation of my original intention. Australia is a new adventure for me, and damn it if I'm not going to give it a fair shake and an honest effort. Never say 'no' to any opportunity. Try as many new activities as I can conceive. Appreciate this land for what is has, not what it doesn't.
This doesn't mean I don't love all of you, Dear Friends from a Life Past. No, rather I want you to share this adventure with me, through this blog. If anything, demand I share tales of my latest adventures on this blog. I promise I won't disappoint.
