However, the earliest recorded use was the title of a poem, "Gods own Country", about New Zealand, written by Thomas Bracken in the 1880s.

Because I would struggle to get as good a job in the UK as I have here, there not being many cyclones over there and having spent every penny I had trying to build myself a lifestyle over here (and failing miserably) I now can't afford to go back. I do try hard these days not to whinge about it though, I think I've fallen into a sort of dull acceptance of the place.

Of course it worth it! A resounding YES from me.
Anyone who says 'no' just hasn't tried hard enough in my book!

I always found hardly any Aussies in the Walkabout near Embankment, was just full of drunk Poms trying to pick up drunk Aussie girls, probably explains why I was there. Shephard's Bush was another ballgame altogether though....
