We get a public holiday for Australia day.<BR/><BR/>The best Australia day we had was 2 years ago when Harry finished his chemo tablets after 2 years of chemo. That meant there was no more "food curfew" or "No food zone" after dinner before bed.<BR/><BR/>So we went to a park in North Ryde where people had flags, listened to a kids music and dance thing, listened to a BG's impersonator group, and watched some fireworks. I can't even remember if we sang the national anthem at any point! (That's "Waltzing Matilda" init?)<BR/><BR/>I like the Australian Anthem to the music of "Working class man". That works well, you ever heard that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
