Happy Australia Day

Today, 26th January is Australia Day!!

Australia is celebrating its 217th birthday. Australia was settled by the Europeans. As a colony of the Commonwealth, Australia was used as a convict island, and convicts from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales were brought to Australia to serve their sentences. These criminals and petty crooks formed the basis of this great country which keeps up a fine tradition of multiculturalism and immigration.

Happy Birthday Australia!!

So, how do you celebrate? Fireworks and such like our 4th of July? It is summer down under right now, so I guess a BBQ is in order, too.....
