Happy Australia Day!

There are Aussie flags everywhere! On cars and boats, balconies, kids running around waving them - Aussies are generally pretty proud to be Aussies! Also mostly in a nice way :-)
We had a rather quiet but typical Australia Day with lamb on the barbie and watching the fireworks afterwards.
Another thing worth mentioning about Australia Day is the fact that this public holiday fell on a Saturday this year. And there is this sneaky rule that if a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday the following Monday is declared a public holiday. I mean a public holiday can't be omitted! ;) So this year everyone celebrates Australia Day on Saturday PLUS the following Monday is a public holiday as well! I love this system!
