Blonde hair, bronzed bodies, sunscreen and surf. This is the official picture presented in The Big Island, a promotional film made by the Commonwealth Film Unit in 1970 to sell the idea of Australia to the world.

If you can afford a small regular donation (or a big one!) then Wikipedia is a good option right now.
I think Elon is unhappy that Wikipedia is not for sale. I hope his campaign to defund us results in lots of donations from people who care about the truth. If Elon wanted to help, he'd be encouraging kind and thoughtful intellectual people he agrees with to engage.
