I'd love to tell you Australia Day kicks off mid September Ozzie side but it doesn't! January 28th is the green and gold, fair dinkum, roaster of a day!(well at least I've almost made it to February!)

As is traditional the day dawned clear, blue and hot!

"So, what's this whole Australia Day Malarkey about then?"

"You have got to be kidding me! Pose with this guy? He's filthy!"

"Still way too close Dad! Lets go check out a nice Kangaroo or something!"

"I hearby claim this baby for the Commonwealth of Australia and her territories..."

Joseph is very impressed!

"Ah! So this is what it's all about... claiming stuff, picnicking on BBQ sausages under the gum trees... "

"Kicking back and relaxing (for a change!),

"Loosing our balloons...

"And ofcourse the best part! Getting enormously sick on giant, spinning dinnerware after lunch!!"

"round and ...

"round and ..."

"ROUND! Ok Mum this has been great! How about we get off and try again next year?!"
