Happy Australia Day

Put your best dress thongs on, chuck a prawn on the barby and a slab in the fridge. It's Straya Day mate!

@Nikki as an honorary Aussie cricket fan it's hats on for the whole day except when the national anthem gets played.

I've got a house full coming for a traditional lamb and prawn BBQ lunch today so won't be posting much as preparations and celebrations carry on well into the night.

You folks in Oz are supposed to be happy all the time... according to a poll I heard about.

Roger that!

In your Nat'l Anthem video, which one was Reece again, the tall blond one?

Three cheers for the Patron Saint of Oz:

Oh-ficial Oz cricket song.

Was that the first boat load of Convicts?

I think Reece is the short one with the wonky eye.
