It's the 26th of January again, known to Australian's as Australia Day.

For those of you who may not know what Australia Day is this is for you:

Australia Day (previously known as Anniversary Day, Foundation Day, and ANA Day) is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, the date commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove, New South Wales in 1788 and the proclamation at that time of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia (then known as New Holland).

Although it was not known as Australia Day until over a century later, records of celebrations on 26 January date back to 1808, with the first official celebration of the formation of New South Wales held in 1818. It is an official public holiday in every state and territory of Australia and is marked by the presentation of the Australian of the Year Awards on Australia Day Eve, announcement of the Australia Day Honours list and addresses from the Governor-General and Prime Minister. With community festivals, concerts and citizenship ceremonies, the day is celebrated in large and small communities and cities around the nation. Australia Day has become the biggest annual civic event in Australia.

My wife found a funny little image on Facebook the other day, had me in stitches as it was totally true. You can't be Australian unless you can learn to laugh at yourself and not take yourself too seriously. So I re-wrote the text and made this.

So to all you Aussies out there happy Australia Day, hope you have a great day and it isn't too hot for you all.

Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!

Did you know that the news had an article asking Aussies not to drink as much this year as the government were worried we were becoming known as loud drunks. :lol: I wonder were they have been for the past 200 years. :lol2:

It is pretty quiet today, I guess everyone is recovering form last night. :lol2:

Though there was music still going at 6am this morning, perhaps it's time for us to make a racket (a loud amount of noise). :lol:

Well the other day we had a 43 degree C (109.4 degrees F) day, I think the snow and ice would be better than some of the days we have. If it's in the 30's it's considered cool by Australian standards. A few summers ago the average day was like 51 degrees C (123.8 degrees F).
