Australia Day

Its Australia Day today.
When we get outside, light up the BBQ and cook some snags and lamb chops, play cricket in the street and enjoy a beer..... -
Congratulations on your national festivities! But what, pray tell, is a "Snag"?
-
A sausage, Jeff.
Sorry, bit of OZ slang....
-
Brats or boerewors?
-
Is it an aboriginal themed day?

We never have lightning this time of year............. and if you look in the middle of the image you will see a comet. You will need to click on the image to see it.

Cheers mate, have a bloody goodun and have a few tinnies for me.
Been 5 years, again, since I was home and over 10 years since I was there on Oz Day.
I usually manage to have a drink to it no matter what freezing hellhole I'm in at the time, it's warmed up to -7C here today. -
looks like our neighbour down under are having a nice party
so, there is no aborigin included?

If you could see Australia these days it is far from just black and white australian.... we've become quite a multicultural society....
As for the themes, civic celebrations certainly do encourage an indigenous theme as well as our diversity. Unfortunately there was an ugly incident in Canberra [National Capital] yesterday where a violent protest took place from a group of Aboriginals that saw our Prime Minister and Opposition Leader rush away from an award ceremony under the protection of riot police. What makes it worse is that the majority of the protesters are not of aboriginal descent; rather half-cast, oxygen thieves that have nothing better to do than make trouble. It does nothing for the ongoing plight of equality and acceptance...
