Curious about Australia? Are you longing to seek cultural experience while being painfully aware of travel bans? In the current pandemic, where creativity and imagination is paramount for a semblance of normalcy, I find myself writing about various cultural niches non-stop. Australia is a beautiful country of rugged lands and unique species, juxtaposed with thriving cities and rich cultural diversity. Why not let your imagination run wild with these paying literary publications?
