I wanted something fitting the significance of the day (without being political).

My Australia Day was a bit of a non-event though. It was all about cleaning and tarting up my flat to impress potential flatmates.

Yes there is no need to fully get into the debate on the merits of the day, just enjoy and celebrate what a mostly wonderful country we live in!

I spent the day at a bbq beside a pool, drinking beer. Oh I was wearing thongs too.
