Happy Australia Day

I am 2 hours late for myself, but Australia day being the greatest day of them all deserves a thread all to itself!

Huzzah for australia!

Huzzah For Australia!!

Even though I don't live there but still one more time

Huzzah For Australia!!!

Celebrating the 25th of another month closer to your winter is a poor effort!

Call it Burns Night.

my cousin who lives in Bunbury (Western Australia) has come over for a holiday before she goes back and starts university. one of her friends back home rang up yesterday and they chatted about it a bit.

she then told me it was Australia Day, and explained it's celebrating when Captain Cooke discovered the country, or something.

she was born in Ireland though, so maybe her history of Australia is not all that.

and it's cook, not cooke, and it's when he landed, not discovered.

I do
He's Teesside's greatest export....

In true Australian style I spent Australia Day at the pub, drinking a large quantity of beer and watching the cricket. Awesome.

Apparently this Aussie day thing caused quite a stir here at our student union... there was a night dedicated to it on friday.

You'll be amazed at the amount of Aussies that don't know that. Many a time I've seen claims that Cook discovered Australia, when in fact the Dutch were there around 170 years before the British ever did.

thats why when u look at old maps they say New Holland. Didnt the dutch land before the english and only saw desert as they landed on the western side to cook who landed on the eastern side.
