I saw Alipeeps entry on this meme, and couldn't resist!  I had trouble choosing a favourite, though.  I finally chose Inchcape Rock, by Robert Southey.  I also posted the runner up, The Skeleton in Armour, by Longfellow, and my favourite poem as a child, The Tale of Custard the Dragon, by Nash - it's just such a cute little poem, I still love it!

This is just a little character study, born out of a reflection of how their place in the team and on Atlantis is dependent on their perspective.  I found it while rummaging around my ideas and incomplete folder, so I thought I'd share.  Thanks go to Linzi for helping me fix my tense problems. :D

I was over in the 'Calling All Australians' thread in GW, and the topic of what people in other countries think about Australia came up.  One is always curious to know what others think of one's own country.  So a few of us decided to ask out flists what they think when they hear the word 'Australia'.  What comes to your mind?  Is it good?  Bad?  Possibly indifferent?  Do you think of the geography, the politics, or the god-awful soaps we've dropped on your poor, unsuspecting tv networks?  Let me know- what do you think?
