Congrats to the best country on Earth.

So good they posted it twice

I usually manage to get this in on Australia Day.

When I was at school we sang "The Song Of Australia" and many hoped it would become our national anthem rather than the dirge that did.

Being written by a South Australian there was no hope of that though.

There is a land where summer skies

are gleaming with a thousand dyes;

blending in witching harmonies, in harmonies;

and grassy knoll and forest height,

are flushing in the rosy light,

and all above is azure bright -

Australia, Australia, Australia !

Especially meaningful coming from a KIWI - at least he lives in KIWI-land.

"I Love A Sunburnt Country" was always evocative for me.

As was "The Geebung Polo Club" and "Clancy of the Overflow"

Happy birthday Australia ..and Hardcourts dad.

ta Eek. I'll tell him.

And how do these citizens celebrate ??

Vegemite Wrestling !!!!

Don't ask me who won.

No pink bits - but lots of sticky brown bits.

And it looks like they used the proper stuff, not this cheese and VM mix.

We had a pretty good night last night here in Indo.

A whole bunch of us Aussies got together and..well...celebrated...

I wish I had some vegemite here. Although I do have a bunch of wasabi...

This me, my wife and our daughter Jasmine.

cute gals

yukky vegemite!

It is an acquired taste...

Hi Miggy...I hope you are ok.
