"So where the bloody hell are you?" once asked Lara Bingle in a Tourism Australia campaign.
I was thrilled today to meet two terrific 'Australians', a lovely couple:
@ausbitbank and @krystle
Being new to STEEMIT, Krystle was good enough to show me a couple of fantastic sites available to us:
https://steemviz.com/ was the first - this place rocks!
https://steemit.chat/home - our very own Steemit chat site - really cool too!!
I suggest you go check out this pair of 'Steemit go-getters'!
Krystle is a writer, who just published a terrific post about Australia's most famous bush ranger 'Ned Kelly'
The Legend Of Ned Kelly - Australia's Answer To Robin Hood
https://steemit.com/australia/@krystle/the-legend-of-ned-kelly-australia-s-answer-to-robin-hood
Ausbitbank just published a heartwarming thankyou to the entire Steemit community titled 'From $0 to $100K AUD in 11 months thanks to Steem' And, it has already a exceeded $1,300. Best you read it for yourself to understand why.
https://steemit.com/steem/@ausbitbank/-from-0-to-100k-aud-in-11-months-thanks-to-steem
Ausbitbank is also a Witness here on STEEMIT so be sure to put a vote to good use for him at:

Well this makes 3 Australian's trying to plug the gaping hole in the Commonwealth budget. But I know that we are not the only ones... so...
Australians of STEEMIT introduceyourself here and be known!
Whether your from picturesque Sydney like me:
Or our Nation's Capital...
Whether you like hanging out down the beach...
Or just riding round the causeway...
Or you're simply an Australian who enjoys our natural wonders...
Let us know who who you are and what it is about our 'lucky country' that you love the most.
And for those non-Australians - well what are you waiting for? Come pay us visit!
I am... SirKnight.
With a great big thanks to our friends at Tourism Australia for these beautiful pictures.

Here's my intro post (it was my first post ever so sorry for the dodginess I didn't know what I was doing) https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@krystle/hey-i-m-krystle
You have had a tough time of it Krystle, but your resilience and resolve will ensure you achieve everything you set out to. And the best thing for two young autistic children is two loving devoted parents (but you know this already). Chat again soon. SK.

Another Sydney local here!
@holoz0r (left) and I representing Adelaide.
Doing a better job than Port just managed.
You see Essendon just steemroll us? Damn.
Lucky I'm a crows supporter. Can confirm that's me on the left, and @mattclarke on the right. He's the handsome loser that supports the wrong football team. :)
Sorry to hear you got beat Matt, better luck next week. I have added @holozOr yourself to the list. Thanks for popping in. SirKnight.
@holoz0r's got used to floggings by now, but it's a rare blow in Alberton.
We'll regroup.
Any East Coasters into Aerial Ping Pong, or is it all about Rugby?
Could you change that last O to a zero? ;) I'm strange like that!
Got it - thanks. Had it right on the spreadsheet - just not when I retyped.
GC for me... Beach bum city! Upvoted and following a fellow Aussie.
Great Scooter - you are on the list. Thanks for replying - if you haven't resteemed, please do so. Voted-up and following. How was the surf today? SirKnight
Windy and wild.... Pretty wet here at the moment!
Hello from Sunshine Coast Qld! :)
followed and up-voted! :)
Thanks for popping in wishmaiden - you are on the list. SK.
I'm right hear but nobody hears me. Lol
I hears you mate - its just that you never have anything important to say. hahahaha - where in Australia SB? SK
The most expensive place to live on the planet, Sydney. What about yourself SK.
Sydney too mate. Fortunately I good into the market in early 2012 - just 6 months before it went stupid.
My mum took my 7 year old to Sydney (from Adelaide) a week ago.
Big Titanic exhibition. He loved it.
I love the word "crikey" wish it would catch on here in Texas!
Chuck another shrimp on the barbie you flamin' mongrel - haha Following. Is it true that "blonds get more 'bitcoin'"? ;) SK.
Is that Australian Sweet' talkin? I do like mongrel too. "Crikey, you mongrel"! I'm bi-lingual! I'm hoping the brains behind the blond mane can wrangle me some BC!
I wouldn't exactly call it Sweet' talking - but I don't think you will have any trouble rustling yourself up some pretty pretty BC ;) SK.
Great hope to be in Australia soon @sirknight
I hope you get here soon to bobvghn - following! SK.
Where are you from Bob? I want to make you an Honorary Ambassador to Australia.
I'm not Australian but Australians are my 3rd biggest viewership demographic, so I definitely love the Aussies! :D
Josh, Josh, Josh - let's not try to be too humble. You are a dead-set "LEGEND" down here in Australia. Sure, not so much of a Legend as Dave at x22, or Mark Dice, or Paul J Watson - but you are almost at a jsnip level. Mate I have been listening to you for many months now and giving you lots of YT thumps up. Say hello to John for me. SirKnight.
PS. I will put you down as an 'Honorary Australian'
Well thank you! I appreciate it! I'm no legend, but I'm proud of my Australian audience. You guys have been a big part of keeping me up and running! :) Hope to come down and visit some day.
Cheers!
Hope you do get down here to Australia. How is YouTube treating you guys these days?
Not well unfortunately. Demonetizing about half of our content. That's why Steemit's such a life saver. :P
Hopefully us Aussies will be able to help you out - someone has to be out there promoting the truth. SK.
Gday Sir, greetings from Brisbane. Absolutely love this post. I look forward to reading more of your material :)
Thanks Gohba - glad you liked the post mate. Be sure to resteem to try and drawn out more Aussies (and perhaps earn me some more steem) hahaa. You are on the spreadsheet for future reference.
I am from a little known part of Australia called Pennsylvania, in the United States (close to the eastern coast). Although I am not a native Australian, @sirknight invited me to be an "Honorary Australian", for which I am truly honored. One of my goals is to someday visit my adopted home. A few of my friends have been there, and have told me it is a beautiful country filled with magnificent scenery and friendly people.
I think I could even get used to the water going down the drain in a counterclockwise direction!
Hahaha - let's get this right swenger - you are now the 'Pennsylvanian Ambassador to Australia' in STEEMIT. Thanks for accepting the position - SirKnight.
Great initiative @sirknight. And thanks @snooway for tagging me.
Excellent nextgen622 and thanks for the resteem!

I've been finding a bunch of Minnesotan on here. Australia is really on the cutting edge with bitcoin. I'm excited to see what happens July 1.
Thanks for popping in BD. You could be right.
Australia to legalize bitcoin on July 1... how are Australians feeling about that?
I heard that - at least getting rid of the GST impost anyhow. SK. Following g-duds.
Where are you from mate? Want to make you an Honorary Ambassador to Australia.
I'm in Florida... it's hot and sweaty here too!

I will send out an updated member list in the next few days. SK.
Nah wuckers mate. ;-)
hello everyone!
Just saying Hi as I'm from Australia myself :)
Melbourne
Did you see today's post Trafalgar, you got a special mention. SK.
https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@sirknight/steemit-official-press-submission-team-australia-established-11-06-2017
yes I was the #3 voter on that
Excellent, thank you Trafalgar - I see your piece on violence just broke $2k. It must be tough being you. ; ) SK.
i don't know, 3 months ago I was getting 30-40c a post
Yes what a difference a few months and a lot of hard work can make - yours is a terrific success story. Who knows, if a few stars align I might be able achieve something similar - however this rising STEEM price is working against me with respect to making cash contributions now. See what happens. SK.
yes, it's always easier to invest with hindsight
but at current prices you're wagering that steem will really take off and become mainstream
but ultimately, nothing will beat good quality writing that's engaging in some way
Hi SirKnight. I'm in Ipswich, Queensland. Great to see so many Aussies on here!
Hi Sammie - sorry just noticed this post - you are in but why not give us an intro at TEAMAUSTRALIA.
One for Canberra
Hi Strapped - sorry just noticed this post - you are in but why not give us an intro at TEAMAUSTRALIA. SK.
