Happy Australia day to you down under boys.

 

Thanks bro'. Just surfacing following quite a long evening of celebration. Love Australia day. Sank too many Rebacks.

 

Australia Day? What do you mates do for that? Eat vegamite? Throw boomerangs? Do tell.

 

Kind of like the forth of July but instead of turkey we consume masses of snags, yabbies, cray, beef steak, pork belly, wombat, kangaroo, emu, come to think of it anything that moves and tastes OK with sauce will be BBQ down here on Australia day. 50 laps of the local neighborhood in the ute with flags flyin', burnout on every corner. A dip in the pool or a swim at the beach to tickle some sharks. Plenty of liquid refreshment and a game of cricket. Not necessarily in that order.

 

Australia Day, is that like an independece day? Do you guys have the 4th of July in Australia?

 

"The tradition of noticing 26 January began early in the nineteenth century with Sydney almanacs referring to First Landing Day or Foundation Day. That was the day in 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of eleven convict ships from Great Britain and the first governor of New South Wales, arrived at Sydney Cove. The raising of the Union Jack there symbolised British occupation of the eastern half of the continent claimed by Captain James Cook on 22 August in 1770."

Just surfacing on an other bloody freezing typical Canadian day winter like, have a big stack of KTM 's on the bonfire, even not burning the orange gives off a sense of heat and comfort and well being. Anyway thought the Australian national anthem was:
Ausrtalia, Australia
We love you Amen, followed by a quick salute and a quick get away. Sure I saw that on Monty Python so it must be true?

Funny, more so for an expat like myself.

 

Good stuff, I completely forgot about the Wottle. Shame on me,

 

I am now growing and selling authenticated Al Gore Wottles, autographed and authenticated by the official moron himself, LOL. Funny thing is, if I put this up on e-bay probably make a mint.
