Hey all. It’s Team Australia update time! But first, as you know, I like to discuss other things going on (either in my personal life or on steemit) more generally before I get to that.
Since there’s nothing much exciting going on with me right now, I will talk about steemit stuff. I am pretty excited for the Masters of the Universe challenge. This is a continuation of the steemlords theme, which you might remember from 1-2 months back.
Basically, we all got shafted at the end as 
A bunch of transformation posts have been put up already. Go check them out cos they are a good read. Also, if you want in on this creative writing challenge, now is your chance. I think it’s going to be fun and I’m looking forward to seeing what my character ChooXena: Vegan Warrior Princess now She-Ra Princess of Power has in store and who she encounters.
As you probably know by now, 
I’m really happy to be onboard as part of

“I have published a few articles and have a few movies credited.”
Nice. I checked out one of your articles. I think you have one of the coolest jobs I’ve seen so far when doing these Team Australia introductions.

Yeah, I’m not going to touch that one.
Next.
Candidate 3
Name and bio
Fun fact
“We love avocados and avocados love us.”
Avocados are indeed delicious. However, I’m a little unclear about how they show love back, being fruit and all.
Candidate 4
Name and bio
Fun fact
“I have a sheepdog (kelpie) that thinks flies are sheep. We can always tell if a fly has landed on a ceiling fan because she’s underneath stamping her feet and whining.”
Ha! Dogs are funny. Much better than cats.
Candidate 5
Name and bio
Fun fact
“I’ve won the Gruen Transfer a couple of times. One was for a spoof Australian Government ad telling people that the Australian Government was introducing a Parents Licence.”
Wow! I am super impressed with what you’ve achieved in this area so this does not surprise me at all. Well done

Fun fact
“My mum owns a pet crocodile.”
Just to put this in context, his mum does run a wildlife rescue centre. She's not just keeping one out in the back yard.
@sirknight, please add these new members to Team Australia.
The rules for joining Team Australia
If you’re not yet a member and want to be, this is what you need to do:
- Vote here for our resident steemit witness @ausbitbank.
- Regularly check the Team Australia and Australia tags and upvote the content you like.
- Follow and upvote existing members of @teamaustralia who you share a common interest with. Alternatively, you can show your support by following the centerlink curation trail in Streemian. Instructions are listed here.
- Comment below or DM me on steemit chat or Discord that you want to join.
- Link your introduction post so I can find out a bit about you. If you’re new to steemit you'll have to write one so use the introduceyourself tag to help boost your following. You can also follow this handy guide written by @teamsteem.
- If it’s not mentioned in your introductory post, tell me which city and country you’re in, cos let's face it, a lot of us live in Australia's fourth largest city—London.
- If you’re not Aussie tell me why you should be a Team Australia ambassador.
- Tell me a fun fact about yourself. This can be anything. For example, maybe you run a successful business, or you have eight kids and three dogs, or you rode your bike across America, or you won the blue ribbon for javelin throwing at sports day back in high school, or Toadie came into the pub you work at one day and you served him a beer, or, maybe you can fit 55 maltesers in your mouth like Ed Sheeran can. It doesn’t matter what it is, I want a fun fact about you!
Once I receive this information I will try my best to write a good introductory paragraph about you for the official Team Australia membership updates. So the better your information is, the better I can make you sound. Where relevant, please use the teamaustralia and australia tags to promote your work. I will try and post weekly updates unless there is a lot of interest, in which case I will try and post sooner.
