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

Early Australian settlers brewed their tea in a billy, and this method of brewing is still loved today, while relaxing around a campfire with family and friends. Australians made their mark long ago.

    When I try to explain to people in the USA how we boil the billy for tea or hot beverage of choice, they have a hard time understanding what it is I am trying to describe. This is great and reminds me of the many overnight trips out on the Mootwingie NSW trail with my father and us camping and boiling the billy when I lived home in Oz.Great shot.
