The Aussie fighting spirit

The 'Aussie battler' idea comes from the original Australian pioneers and founders, the British and Irish stocks basically, the people that built the country from nothing and endured harsh conditions. It has nothing to do with the people that rocked up to a pre-built place. And it definitely has zero to do with people who came to an affluent 'first-world' country for a better life. That's literally the opposite of being a battler.

As for Anglo-saxons not treating foreigners well, all these people that complain about them can show us how their people accommodated the globe and did it with a smile. They wouldn't even like foreigners joining their tribal community clubs. The hypocrisy is epic.

 

It's the Gallipoli spirit.

 

The legends of Kokoda...

 

Jeff Harding is a perfect example for this thread his wars vs Andries were magnificent.

Even against McCallum he was outclassed but never stopped coming forward and even made it rough for McCallum down the stretch.
