Happy Australia Day


In an odd twist of fate, today is not only the most important day in Chinese culture, but also the most important day in Australian culture.


Today, January 26th in 1788 the First Fleet of convicts sailed into Sydney Cove and began what would become the nation Down Under. The Aussies put on a big shindig with tall ship races in Sydney Harbour, with reenactments, with barbies (Lamb Chops!), and with lots of drinking.


Happy Australia Day. I for one with having a go with some a lamb and a stubby. Cheers.
