I come from a British Heritage however I am born and raised in South Australia. I feel most at home when I am with my family and friends where I feel comfortable.

My family hails from Scotland and Ireland, I was born in South Australia. I find it difficult to define what home means to me. I have moved from house to house all my life, so i don't consider any one physical place to be my home. The closest thing i have to a feeling of home would be my mother, i don't think any love in the world could compare to that of a mother's love for her first born child. I have attached a photo of myself, with my mother on the right.

The episode of Art + Soul focuses on individuals who have a great connection to family, community and land. I can see how this combination could create that feeling of home. After watching 'Home and Away' and reading all of your posts, i think whatever will feel like home to me is yet to be discovered. Whether it be somewhere in the world i have not visited or an individual i have not met, or maybe even something completely different.

I was born in Adelaide and have spent most of my life in the southern suburbs here, except for the period of time where I lived in Port Lincoln for 3 years.
To me, as cliche' as it sounds, home is where the heart is. As much as I love living in Adelaide and have some amazing friends and most of my family is here, theres something about living in Port Lincoln that I really connected with.
It definitely has a different cultural feeling to it than living in the city does, one where everyone knows everyone, a friendly atmosphere and just an overall laid back feeling to it. Don't get me wrong, I love being in the city and being so close to every single thing, always being busy and surrounding myself with friends and family but to me, when going back to visit other relatives and friends in Port Lincoln, I feel most at home.

Sorry for my late addition to the padlet!
South Australia is my home and I have always lived in Adelaide. My sense of belonging was always with Adelaide until last year when I travelled to Scotland with my aunt who had traced our heritage back to a town called Musselburgh. After visiting that town and going to the local history centre, I left feeling like a part of me belonged there too. It was the strangest feeling. It made me want to go back and find out more

I agree with what has been said too, home has a lot to do with those we love. However I also think of home and belonging when I am driving through the Adelaide Hills, perhaps on my way to work or back to my house. Having grown up in the Hills my whole life windy roads, open valleys and hilly paddocks filled with grazing stock and gum trees here and there are familiar and comforting. It's home. There I have a feeling I don't really get if I were somewhere like the city. Tall buildings, traffic lights and busy people, while all exciting and nice to be around, just don't bring me the same feeling of belonging. Attached is a photo of 'home'.

is mostly about your connection to people. But judging from some of the posts here, place has something to do with it too. I think about the different places I've lived in - different cities, different environments - and I eventually felt a connection and sense of familiarity with all of them. People were a big part of that...but so was the weather and the smells and different ways of living and doing things. They become part of you.

My name is Joanne Womack (Jo Jo) and South Australia is my home. Had a bit of trouble working out the padlet but got there in the end. I was born and raised in Adelaide but spent a large amount of my childhood growing up in Mount Gambier on the outskirts of the town. I am certainly a country kid at heart and feel most at home surrounded by nature and away from all things superficial and materialistic. As someone else also mentioned, I believe home is established by the people rather than the place. Attached is a photo of me in my element.

South Australia is my home.

South Australia is my home, it is where I grew up and where all my family lives. I am part German on my dad's side and are open to many cultures but to me home is a place where you feel as though you belong. It is a sense of pride, love and value

sorry, I've been have troubles with the padlet as seen to the left. Anyways to me home isn't a place, but the people whom I feel the most welcomed and safe around. If I had to choice a place I most definitely consider Australia my home. My dad being a truck driver, would take us out on long trips across states wether it was across the red sands of the great Australian bite or weaving hills up to Melbourne, meeting strange and interesting people in small towns and local pubs. And when we couldn't go with him he'll always bring home trinkets and stories. However I feel home is something we carry in the ones we love most.

To me, home isn't a place but the people

I am happy to call South Australia my home, it is where I was raised and where my family lives. However, I am part German on my Dad's side. So I am open to a variety of cultures but as far as belonging goes I am home.

South Australia is where i call home, this is where i was born and raised, where my friends and loved ones are, and where i feel most familiar. As far as cultural identity goes, i don't identify completely with any specific culture, or feel as if i belong to it. I suppose you could label me as a "culture jammer" if you had to. I have deep respect for cultures that embrace creativity and spiritual (not religious) values. Out of every culture though there are things i would take onboard and also discard. If i were to belong to any culture, it would most likely be that of a past era, in simpler times when the advancement of the spiritual was held in much higher regard than that of the material.
