True Aussie

Austin had been born and had grown up in Australia. He'd been to Sydney countless times on Australia Day, battled the crowds and enjoyed the festivals all around the big city, with a huge explosion of fireworks come night.

Austin was in his 20's now and back in Sydney for another Australia Day. As he looked out over Sydney Harbor from his spot on the balcony of a bar on one of the top stories of a tall building, Austin began to wonder what made someone a true Australian. It was an age old debate that had been going on for a long time. But it really spiked up around this time, around Australia Day. Some said that you weren't a true Aussie of you didn't get completely plastered with alcohol in celebration of the country, others claimed if you didn't know Australia's history, you were un-Australian. But Austin wondered, was there really any way you couldn't be Australian, or a true Australian as some people said.

Austin didn't think that any of those factors even contributed to whether you were a true Australian or not. Everyone had a different view of what, to them, made you a true Australian. Every single person's opinion differed. Therefore was there any real, exact model of what made a True Aussie? Given the evidence, Austin thought not, but everyone's view differs. So what do you think?
