Let us rejoice!

Clouds, humidity and the threat of more rain did not deter the people from turning out to the Local Heritage Village for the Australia Day celebrations.  I'm proud to be an Aussie, especially on days like this when the seedy side of society is less obvious and families and fresh faced young, bronzed Aussies as well as the elderly join together to celebrate our nation.
We had prams, with babies and toddlers outnumbering big people so we didn't stay long today, but continuing in the spirit of the day here at home.  That is cricket on the TV and maybe a pie or a vegemite sandwich .  Too hot for much else :-(
(No, it is never too hot for a pie!)

So have a great Australia Day whether you are an Aussie or not.  Non - Australians may like to read some past "Australiana" posts to brush up on your Aussie general knowledge.

God bless Australia!

    Thanks Jeanne. I just noticed the impossible time stamp on your comment. Checked my settings but it is our correct time. Not sure how that has happened.
    Hope your day was a good one.

    Sounds like a lovely day Ruby. :)

    The weather kept us home yesterday, nice and quiet.
