Little story lost

I've written a horror short called I Saw (it has four meanings, not that the reader will get that). It's extremely Australian, and features a lot of detail about the bush where I grew up.
I don't know where to send it.

-I could send it to Dark Animus, but they're a few centuries behind on their slush.
-I could send it to Aurealis, but although their site adds news, nobody seems to know if the market is alive.
-I don't think I could send it overseas, it's too Australian.
-It's too long for Shadowed Realms.

Perhaps I should hold onto it for a little bit. Brimstone Press seem to be starting new projects all the time.
Any ideas?

I'd love to read it.

No such thing as too Australian.

I wrote this piece recently, about a Yank living his cowboy dream in Oz.

Let me know what an Aussie writer thinks...

Don't be afraid to try overseas markets, Cav. I wouldn't be overly worried about the 'Australian-ness' affecting your chances. Just give it a go. :)
