A Glance of Australia

Australia negeri wol
(katanya-katanya)
Aborigin sukunya
(katanya-katanya)
Boomerang senjatanya
Kanguru binatangnya...

(kids song by Trio Kwek-Kwek)

First time I know Australia from the song above. factually the song not only tells about Australia but also other country like China, Dutch, USA, and of course Indonesia, where the song originated. the song was very popular when I was in elementary school. I have not get lesson about foreign countries at that time that is why the song become the first knowledge about Australia that enter my brain.

Yet when I was in sixth grade of elementary school I get lesson about geography of the world. May be because Australia is near to my country my teacher told much about it. however that I can remember only its state and capital city that should be memorized by the student.

Then in junior high school I 'met' Australia in the history subject, especially World Discovery. there I was introduced with James Cook an English man who found Australia.

And now I should understand more about Australia in my University. To know about Australia is not difficult thing for me because many resources are available. the difficult part is to understand about its literature. especially its ancient literature that mostly about Aboriginal people.

My Academic Project

I have some academic projects to do. I am an English Literature student. My academic subject mater deals with culture and literature of English user country especially United Kingdom, United States, and Australia. So I need to understand completely about their life and history. And in this blog I'll try to write down a glance of their culture and literature. It will begin with their nowadays condition including their country, life style, economic, culture, etc and then I'll go deeper in explore their hystory and literature. Factually I just need to focus in their literature, however, to understand about that I can ignore their hystory and life.

I will started from Australia because the territory of it is nearest than the others from my country so I can get the reference easier. Hopefully I can finished my project completely and it will be useful for me and others. Ameen...

Let start it... Bismillaah
