I'm not a bogan, but I bloody love Australia

For my 21st birthday, I want the Southern Cross tattooed just above my left ankle.

Some may call it trashy or cheap, but I think it's the perfect Australian symbol. I love the beach. I love the footy. I love meat pies. I just bloody love Australia.

Both grandparents were born on European soil. They migrated to Australia in search of a better life. My Nonno was an extremely hardworking sugar cane farmer, and my Nanu a rough shift-working wharfie.

Christmas in our family is not stereotypically Australian. We make homemade pasta and traditional panettone. But we still manage to wheel the bins in the backyard for a game of cricket and have bombing competitions in the pool.

I am proud of my Italian and Maltese blood. But often my love for this country combined with my love of beer, has me mistaken for a 'Shazza', 'Darlene', or a 'Sheryl' stereotype.
