Another Australia Day has come and gone and the whole country took the day off to celebrate in fine Aussie style. In Sydney it was sunny and hot and bar-be-ques were fired up throughout the country. True to the occasion this family celebrated with Aussie flags flying in the wind, and a lunchtime feast of prawns on the barbie, lamb chops, salads and of course a big fat pavlova smothered in cream, chocolate and fresh fruit. And what would Australia be without a game of cricket in the backyard (and a few blowies as well). My husband I collapsed into bed, exhausted at 10.00pm and the kids and their friends caught the train in to the city to watch the fireworks and party further. Like most Australians, we have so much to be thankful for.
