Dearest Foxy,

"With Australia almost certain to make constitutional recognition of the first Australians law, that will be the day when all Australians are recognized as truly equal. Then that day should be the day of national celebration,"

almost certain? I admire your confidence, if not your understanding.

Still the idea has merit....so long as we hold the referendum on 26 January. :)

National Day (Vietnamese: Ngày Quốc Khánh) is a national holiday in Vietnam observed on September 2, commemorating the Vietnam Declaration of Independence from France on September 2, 1945. It is the country's National Day.
Down with France! Out with la Perouse and his frog sailors , long live Vietnamese Australian co-prosperity and no lemons.

Sawatdie pii mai Happy new year.

maybe we should ask the moslems what date would suite them.

Probably 31 October when the Arab states came into existence.
" The battle of Beersheba took place on 31 October 1917 . The final phase of this all day battle was the famous mounted charge of the Australian 4th Light Horse Brigade. Commencing at dusk, members of the brigade stormed through the Turkish line to break the Ottoman line ."

Thanks, Doog ! I'll pass it on :)

Hi Nick,

Yeah, my grand-dad was in there somewhere, in the 2nd Remounts. With Banjo Paterson, he reckoned.
