Happy Australia Day
January 26th, 2008 - Posted by Alan Howard
Today is Australia Day, where we celebrate the beginning of Australia, which was when the British first settled here in 1788. It's almost midnight on this day, and I thought I should do a post about it. Australia Day is where we celebrate the history of our country, and of being an Australian. We're a proud bunch, and we've achieved a lot over the past 200+ years. I'm proud to be Australian. Always have been, always will be. (Photos coming soon of the Canberra fireworks that I went to tonight.) UPDATE: Here's the photos I promised you.

Nice fireworks photos!. I must say that although i find displays of patriotism strange coming from the land of the isolated individual (nz), Australians always seem to have a better sense of community when it comes to ’significant dates’ and celebrations.

Australians are very patriotic about their country and being Australian. I think it’s part of who we are.
