In the most inclement parts of the continent, characterised by lengthy periods of rain (often cold rain, and sometimes snow), more permanent forms of shelters were employed in semi-sedentary camps (see Figure 8) and were likely to have been personalised and decorated.

Wait so you鈥檙e NOT Australian?
Confession: I stared at this for the longest time trying to figure out where it came from before I remembered the 'dude' tags on that regional phrasing post!
It was February 15th, 1989 when I arrived in Brisbane from British Columbia (I actually flew out of Seattle after a ferry trip and a longish drive, but eh, details). I was 15. It was around 3:30 in the morning when the plane landed. It was four million degrees. I was still wearing all my 'February in Canada' clothes.
(I got heat stroke the first week because I didn't know enough to come out of the sun. And a killer sunburn to match. Do not recommend.)
I'd come to spend a year in Australia and meet my dad (Australian). I should have been suspicious about the 'year' part when I was only given a one way ticket.
Had I been suspicious, those suspicions would have proved correct, because after various trials and tribulations, here I still am 34 years later. An Aussie.
(I mean, technically I was an Aussie before I left, because back then you could inherit citizenship and I got my Aussie citizenship certificate before leaving Canada, but there's a difference between technically and actually. And as much as the Pacific Northwest still haunts my vocabulary, and the Canadian twang still haunts my voice (although in a somewhat mutated form), I am one hundred percent Australian.)
