Our very own white Australia day (in New York City)

January 26 is Australia day. It is a day in which Australians (both in Australia and abroad) will at some point refer to their beloved country as the 'sunburnt country', or "I still call Australia home", they might even chant the proverbial Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie, whilst consuming beer and partaking in a genuine Australian themed barbie (barbeque).

The national anthem, 'Advance Australia fair' will be sung and the Australian flag waived by the many inhabitants of this multi-cultured Island. Australians will boast that they have the best beer and beaches, and who could argue with that?

26 January 2011 in New York is a grey winter day, mixed with white snow flakes - however February is just ahead.

I still call Australia home.

Happy Australia day.
