Australia my fascination

Australia has always been my fascination. I have been tossing myself from one end of the planet to the other for many years now. And although I spend most of my time here I hesitate to call it home. Whenever I am away I quite often think about Australia as an ideal place, but when I am here I feel like I am missing out on something. Now after 8 years here I can't wait to get back to Europe. Many long hours on the Internet don't give the same feeling as being there.

Australian Tourist Commission

Here is quote from Australian Tourist Commission. "Australia is a land full of powerful experiences just waiting to be discovered. Encounters with our incredible wildlife on land and in the water will truly open your eyes wide in astonishment. And as well as adventures for adrenaline seekers there are plenty that anyone can enjoy."

Oh, well wildlife and adrenaline seems to be the main theme.
What about Patrick White and his literary works?
