Creatively explore the theme 'Make Your Mark Australia' through your photograph.

When I took this photo I thought it really showed the great Australian pride in our country and the laid back attitude of it’s people. On Australia Day this gentleman had covered his Tinny in Australian flags and had been parading along the water, for the crowd on the bank to enjoy. The outgoing tide must have left him beached but not to be fussed he had settled down for a quick nap. “ She’ll be right mate , the tide will come up eventually!”

    Congratulations on your selection as a finalist. Excellent photo that captures both the display of patriotism enjoyed by Australians on Australia Day and our laid back approach to life.

    Thank you Adrian for your comment. I was looking for an image that would cover both the Australian pride and lifestyle theme and could not believe my luck when all the elements of sun, sand, water, the flags, the Tinny and the laid back lifesyle came together in the one frame.
