Happy Australia Day

Hope those guys and girls back home enjoy the day off work.

Wish I was there.

For those not aware January 26th 1788 was the day that the First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove and established the Colony of New South Wales. The First Fleet was commanded by Captain Arthur Phillip.

Cool ... I just learned something new.

Thanks Konovalov and Happy Australia Day!

What I wouldn't give to be back home today with the family today.

Seems to be a few ex-pats subsimers across the globe waiting for "when all of the ships come back to the shore."

Happy Australia day mates!

I trust you all have hhad a good one.

I spent most of mine sleeping off a hangover from Aussie Day eve.

Australian pride is alive and well.

I enjoyed my Australia day! Sleeping in, eating a mass of seafood and steak for lunch, going for a swim and meeting some good friends!

Doesn't get much better!!!
