26th January Australia Day The anniversary of when Captain Arthur Philip and the First Fleet raised the flag on Australia's first European Settlement at Sydney Cove in 1788.

I wanted to share our special day with everyone. To maybe help you see how it feels to be Australian. I know everyone loves their own country, but this one day of the year is ours. So I've put on this page a couple of verses which show our Aussie hearts...and that the True Blue aussie spirit is in us all... Aussie Aussie Aussie .... Oi Oi Oi !!!!

G'Day Um, I don't have a kangaroo for a pet. I don't wrestle with crocodiles. And I don't wear a cork hat. I fight wars, but never start wars. I would rather make peace. I can wear my Countries flag with pride. I am the Rock...I am the Ocean...I am the Island Continent. My brothers are the Smit's, the Wilson's, the Santarelli's, the Vercosti's, the Wong's, and the Jagamurra's. I play football without a helmet. I like beetroot on my hamburger. I ride in the front seat of a taxi. I believe it is a  Prawn, not a shrimp. I believe the world is round, and Down Under is on top. I believe Australia is the best address in the world. And Australian's brew the best beer on Earth. Cheers !!!

True Blue ~ by John Williamson ~ Hey True Blue, don't say you're gone. Say you've knocked off for a smoko And you'll be back later on. Hey True blue....Hey True Blue Give it to me straight. Face to face. Are you really disappearing Just another dying race Hey True Blue... True Blue....is it me and you Is it Mum and Dad Is it a cockatoo Is it standing by your mate... When he's in a fight. Or just Vegemite True Blue...Im asking you Hey True Blue, Can you bear the load Will you tie it up with wire Just to keep the show on the road Hey True Blue...Hey True Blue Now be fair dinkum Is your heart still there If they sell us out like spongecake Do you really care Hey True Blue... True Blue...is it me and you Is it Mum and Dad Is it a cockatoo Is it standing by your mate When he's in a fight Or just Vegemite True Blue...I'm asking you True Blue....True  Blue

So no matter where you are, hopefully you can appreciate the wonderful country Down Under...Sit back, grab a coldie, maybe listen to the cricket while the snags are cooking on the barbie...and soak up some glorious sunshine....and celebrate Australia Day with me.... Here's to ya mate !!!
