Summer in Victoria is definitely showing it’s true colours this year – we have had hot weather and the air conditioner on and cold weather, rain and the fire going! It would be nice to be able to predict the weather wouldn’t it! Well, not in Southern Australia! I wonder what this week will have in store for us….
Australia Day is nearly upon us for another year! Australia Day is celebrated on the 26th of January every year. The 26th of January marks the day when the First
Fleet first arrived in Port Jackson in 1788. It marks the anniversary of the
arrival and proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of
Australia. Prior to this, Australia was inhabited by the native indigenous
people for over 40,000 years.

Australia Day is a public holiday across the nation. Parades
are held in town, new citizens and immigrants take place in citizenship
ceremonies all around the country. Families and friends get together at the
beach or at home for a BBQ or picnic and enjoy the hot summer’s day.
