Australia Day

Yes – the holiday that marks the end of the summer holidays and celebrates all things Aussie… like barbeques and beer and fireworks. And we were right in the middle of all the Sydney shenanigans. We decorated ourselves with Aussie flag tattoos,

ate kangaroo (also known as Skippy steak for those of you who may be familiar with Aussie TV in the 1960s)

and joined a million other people gathered in Darling Harbour to watch the boat and firework show.



When you're 5ft tall on a bridge with thousands of other people, and you didn't arrive the day before to claim a front row seat, this is how you still catch all the action.

And I think Mom and Dad practically have Australian residency after the gusto with which they celebrated Australia Day.
