Although it's now over in Australia, I just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Australia Day. As I am completely and totally in love with the country, I thought I'd post a few beautiful pictures of it to share with y'all.

The idea of the holiday is to basically say, "Hey! Ostraya kicks fuckin' arse!" So, hey! Ostraya kicks fuckin' arse!

But if you want to read the official word, you can find something on it here.

Thit's fokkin arse, mate!

for my Aussie mates
*raises glass and sings*

: Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
: Under the shade of a coolibah-tree,
: And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
: "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
: Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
: Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
: And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
: "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

: Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong:
: Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
: And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker-bag,
: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
: Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
: You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
: And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker-bag,
: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."

: Up rode a squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred;
: Down came the troopers, one, two, three:
: "Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
: You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!
: Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
: You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
: Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
: You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!"

: Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong;
: "You'll never catch me alive!" said he;
: And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!
: Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,

Happy Martian Day!!

The bird: It's a kukaburra, right?

I find it neat that none of the Australians here really cared to post a thread, true Australian spirit.

Canada Day is only months away... I can hear the fireworks and smell the hot-dogs....

Shit, brb, microwave exploding

Will the maple syrup flow like wine?

Naw, syrup season is March... not really much cool stuff except camping and mosquitoes happens in July.

Happy Australia day!

Can't wait 'till Canada day...there will be much singing of a certain South Park song, followed by running from the Canadians.

Harumph. The Aussies I know always remember to wish me a happy Australia Day. I think it's just you SD.net blockheads that don't take pride in your lovely country.

Heh, the Aussies I know all just think of Australia Day another long weekend.

I think America needs an America Day.

Can't let those snooty Australians outdo us.

Well you have Columbus Day, we don't have Cook Day.

And that it is. Hey, it's cool, I feel the same way about the fourth of July.

I guess maybe it's different when you have a good friend who's from another country, and you get to see your own country through their eyes. Some of my friends did that through me while I was living over there, and they also know how much I miss it, so I suppose that makes it more than just another long weekend to them.

Gandalf wrote:Well you have Columbus Day, we don't have Cook Day.

I was going to say that's because Cook was kind of a doof, but Columbus was a bigger doof. [*thunk* "Wow, what a beautiful tropical island! Looks a lot smaller than I heard, but whatev. Hey, Indians of the lovely isle of India, what up? WO0t w00t! I'm going to be famous!"]

So, nevermind.
