Australia Day 2008
Personal January 25th, 2008Yes I’ve been hiding under a rock, but I’m alive and well. And tomorrow I’ll be doing even better, because it’s Australia Day! …and probably my all time favouritest holiday of the year.
It’s hard to mess with perfection, so I’ll just repost-my-post from last year; which was the same as the year before :)
It’s Australia Day here in Oz, and the rest-of-the world wonder with sometimes morbid fascination on our ability to celebrate our National Holiday with a good old BBQ (and might I add I do a pretty good BBQ Brunch)
So What is Australia Day? Well, a perfect Wiki definition is “Australia Day is Australia’s official national day, January 26. It commemorates the landing of the First Fleet in Sydney Cove on that day in 1788.”
Personally, I reckon the end of Sam Kekovich’s controversial commercial Buy Lamb for Australia Day says it nicely: Whack on the BBQ, invite everyone over — if you can’t pronounce their name, just call them “mate” –; and celebrate living in the best bloody country on Earth.
Havagoodaustraliadayeveryone, I’ll be celebrating, kicking it by the Pool, chillin near the BBQ, and enjoying the company of friends!

Way cool, Dugie!
Yep, It’s on again at our place tomorrow. I had to drive Pete’s car today because he borrowed the 4WD to pick up Andy’s batch of home brew from the bottling joint. It’s all now on ice, ready to go.
It was advertised on Facebook months ago. (Not publicly, though.) If 500 people show up, I’m gonna hafta pretend Corey Delaney organised it.

I am salivating just looking at that picture. We are having fun celebrating Australia day over here in Redmond - I do miss the heat though :-)
Cheers,
