Friends who live in Australia often ask me, how is Australia’s Feng Shui?


FIRST, AS A PACIFIC ISLAND,

Australia is isolated, and has no land borders with other country, so the analysis of Australia’s Feng Shui is relatively easy. Secondly, the analysis of this kind of fengsui pattern must take the coastal sea floor structure into account, because the ultimate goal of Feng Shui is to chase the running path of qi of the land. As an island nation, the analysis of Feng Shui should not only consider the land surface, but also need to analyze the deep coastal structures and the formation of the sea floor.

Dragon, a commonly used term in Chinese Feng Shui, is generally divided into water dragon and land dragon: the former is generally in the form of rivers, in Australia, there is no major rivers or lakes which can dominate this piece of land, but there is one unique big mountain range – THE GREAT DlVlDlNG RANGE, which starts from Melbourne’s northeast, running along the east coast of Australia, through Sydney, Brisbane and finally arrives at north of Cairns, this is the only big Dragon which goes through eastern Australia from north-south, it dictates the Feng Shui of the entire eastern Australia. To evaluate this dragon from Chinese Feng Shui’s perspective, then the dragon’s head is in Melbourne Victoria, the heart is at Canberra, the dragon’s waist at Sydney, and the hip in Brisbane, and the tail extends to the north of Cairns, evaluate further more according to branchs, the dragon’s left claw grips into a fist to the south, goes through the seabed and extends out to form the Tasmania island, the right claw expands out toward the southwest, and stops in Adelaide. The whole dragon magnificently gallops thousands of kilometers, links all major cities and economic lifelines of eastern Australia together, and not stopping here, the dragons tail extends all the way into the sea to the north.

Similarly, in Western Australia, is a unique and beautiful city of Perth, its formation does not have the same conditions as the Eastern Dragon, but relies on the seabed plateau – THE NATURALlSTE PLATEAU, which is connected with the coastal mountain. The formation, east against a mountain, west a range under the sea, looks just like a submerged tiger with its head out of the water, and on the tiger’s head, inlaid Perth, the only big city in Western Australia.

Here, people can not help but ask: a dragon to the east, a tiger to the west, will the dragon and the tiger fight against each other? In general Feng Shui theory, this situation does cause adverse consequences, unless Australia is divided east-west into two countries.
However, nature is often wonderful: in the middle of Australia, there is a giant magic rock – THE ALlCE SPRlNGS, it is like Australia’s “Anchor”, stably stands there. This gem which changes its color according to different time of the day, under the influence of the sun, the moon and the stars, generates strong cohesion forces which holds eastern Australia and western Australia together, turns the situation of the dragon competes with the tiger into the situation of the dragon and the tiger play with a pearl, the dragon fights the tigers into the dragon and the tiger worshiping the sun, making the whole Australia to become the largest prosperous country in the Southern Hemisphere.
I remember once in a meeting, a professor from Monash University challenged my argument: in west and northwest Australia, there are three isolated hills, but there is no obvious trend of urban development, how to explain it?
In fact, when hills are isolated, according to Feng Shui theory, it cannot constitute the condition for the running of Qi, so the overall effect is just the balancing of the eastern mountains. Hill forms an independent knot, regardless of hemispheres, it belongs to the Metal of the five elements, the only benefit is: in this kind of environment, there is only rich mineral deposit.


As an introduction to Australia Feng Shui geographic my opinion had been aired by Melbourne multicultural radio station on the evening of October 27, 1994, later the same year it was aired again by SBS radio on the night of December 4. However, many listeners called in and wish it is published as an article, so as the 1995 Chinese New Year gift, the article was published on the Melbourne New Tide. Here, the slightly abridged article is posted online.
