‘We live in by far one of the most beautiful places on earth. It wasn’t until I traveled through Europe and abroad that I realized this.’

“For me, being Australian means we help our friends, even if we don’t know them. We stand up for what is right. Australians make a joke of it.’

She continued, “Being human is the greatest gift of all. Be kind in person and with your gestures, no matter how big or small, and take care of your friends.”
