Today -- January 26th -- is Australia Day!
It's roughly equivalent to the American Fourth of July -- BBQs (sans BBQ sauce, of course), summer heat, picnics, swimming, fireworks, etc. Except less red, white and blue and more green and gold. (Australia's national colors, oddly enough, come more from their sports uniforms than their flag.)
Happy Australia Day!

Hi Kim,
As usual, love your blog.
The green and gold comes from the colours of the wattle, our national tree.
Cheers,
G
What G said.
We've been through this before Kim. As if you'd be red white and blue. It places you in the same category as France, England, and other intolerable countries with those colours.
