Australia Day

January 26th, 2006 Posted by Brett

Its Australia day in Australia today. I figure there will be a big beach bash on the beach at Yepoon.

I also found this site:
http://www.australiaday.gov.au/
which is strange considering ive lived in Australia for so many years and never thought of looking it up on the web, then the year im in America i look it up.. heh

So yeah, Ive blatently stolen the following quote from that webpage to describe what Australia day is:

“Australia Day, January 26, is the biggest day of celebration in the country and is observed as a public holiday in all states and territories.

On Australia Day we come together as a nation celebrate what’s great about Australia and being Australian. It’s the day to reflect on what we have achieved and what we can be proud of in our great nation.

It’s the day for us to re-commit to making Australia an even better place for the future.”

Sounds about right to me, no real reason, apart from celebrating what it is that makes Australia.. Australia. :)

So happy Australia day to all those on the beaches, around the bbqs, on the verandas and houses throughout Australia.

I actually wore my $2 “Koala Australia” shirt that i got from Melbourne markets today without realising. haha

I guess thats a good thing, Ill fire up the aussie music as well today and tomorrow, that should be enough of a celebration for me. :)
