Once upon a time....

Atop a mountain, a magical rose would grow and blossom overnight. The special thing about this Rose was that it gave immortal greatness and renown to whomever picked it before it withered in the morning dawn.

The only catch about picking this Rose was that it was located on the very top of the tallest mountain in the country, surrounded by poisonous thorns and with no trail to guide the Warrior who braved the journey.

The time is upon you, eAustralia, will you attempt the climb?

Authors Note: I have taken the basic concept for this story from the movie "Pan's Labyrinth" (highly recommended viewing, btw) and I thought that it might help to inspire eAustralia given the idea proposed by Cottus Arci's Operation Twofold Bay (which I fully support and endorse). eAustralia must make a decisive decision in this regards or I think it will be relegated into the "third world" category by all the other major (and semi-major) countries of the eWorld.
