Default Australia Day 26th January!

A day for celebration! Happy Australia Day all you Aussies.

Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, NSW, and raising of the Union Jack at that site by Governor Arthur Phillip. In contemporary Australia, celebrations reflect the diverse society and landscape of the nation, and are marked by community and family events, reflections on Australian history, official community awards, and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new immigrants into the Australian community.

The song that may possibly become our anthem


And the great Sam Kekovitch's take on our lamb chops


Cheers, SB

It's the 26th on my calendar so I'll wish you all a Happy Australia Day.

Though it's probably over by now

Its 18 min after noon here on the 26th. So, its 4:18 AM on the 27th down under. Wooferdog time would be 9:18 AM on 26th.

I'll have a beer later however.
