Check out the inspirational Living Australian photos for 2011

I am trying to instill into my children pride for themselves and their indigenous heritage. With so many messages about the "right way" to be an Australian, a solid grounding in their culture, a good education, a loving home and a recognition of the humanity of each individual human being on the planet, is my gift to them. Hopefully this will equip them to be strong, intelligent leaders of our future Australia. This image portrays my son, performing the Wedge Tail Eagle Dance, ochred in the dust of his country, surrounded (out of shot) by Elders and community members, learning the ways of his ancestors. Seeing how strong he is, and how focussed - how could a mother or a nation be more proud?

    Suzanne, you answered the question of how you live as an Australian really well. It's about the children and the investment in their becoming good, strong and aware adults. Our nation depends on them. Thank you for your entries and for your investment in creating a loving home and instilling the virtues you mentioned. All the best to yourself and family.

    Hello everyone, I just thought i would say good luck to all my fellow competitors. Being only 16 years old, it has been an honour to be one of 20 finalists up against these amazing photographers, no matter any of the controversy that has erupted over the last 48 hours. I hope to see you all at luna park in a weeks time to celebrate what our images were originally taken for
