Gee you're early!  ;D
And a happy Australia Day to you!
We are off to the park in the morning where our local council is putting on a free bacon and egg brekkie, followed by a citizenship ceremony.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

Happy Australia Day from Scotland.

Wish we had a National Day here that we could celebrate with a free bacon and egg brekkie :'( :'(

Well it is Burns Night here (25th January) Haggis, Neeps, Tatties and Whisky.

Enjoy your day in the sunshine.

Happy Australia Day from me too. Just relaxing today, and later cooking some lamb on the bbq.

I used to celebrate Burn's night years ago, which was a lot of fun, but no one likes haggis so I don't bother any more.

This has to be one of my favourite Seekers songs, truly captures what it means to be Australian. Love it! If anyone hasn't heard the song/watched the video make sure you do!

I agree. I also like True Blue by John Williamson

Along with

Great Southern Land - Icehouse
Sounds of Then (This is Australia) - Gangajang
Solid Rock - Goanna
Old Man Emu - John Williamson (actually my favourite singer of Oz Songs and songs of Oz)
Down Under - Men At Work - (while great , doesn't inspire emotion as much as some others)

And many more
