I watched Australia Day's Sydney Harbour Concert.
It was awesome. Plus as the sun rose on Australia
Day, Sydney Opera House sails were illuminated
with a special Aboriginal Artwork. It showed -
WungulOra (One Mob). A time for inclusion,
understanding and reconciliation. A reflective
start to the day. The day's theme being -
Reflect, Respect, Celebrate.

An awesome day for many of us.

True Aussies don't.

There in lies the difference.

Lets have some fun.

I posted this on another discussion, where the
"Rule Britannia" brigade was trying to be dominant.

Not that there's anything wrong with that (smile).

A TRUE AUSSIE:

1) Shortens their words - G'DAY (ONYA).

2) Has a great sense of humour. Takes the piss out of ..

3) Is crazy about sports.

4) Believes everyone deserves a "Fair Go."

5) Calls Australia home.

6) Knows the words to "Waltzing Matilda."

AUSTRALIAN CULTURE INCLUDES:

Mateship

Egalitarianism

Authenticity

Optimism

Humility

Informality

Humour

Easy-going

Common-sense

whatever hearty dish was in that bowl has now attracted the maggots.

Australians of old didn't shout "Gas the Jews".

That's not the melting pot we were told we'd get.
