Happy Australia Day

This past Thursday was Australia Day, which is their version of the 4th of July. It’s almost a perfect match too, it’s hot, we barbecue, everybody wears something patriotic, and then they ignite enough explosives to orbit Godzilla.
I must admit that I seriously dig the way they do it here, as they don’t seem to think that it’s sacreligious or disrespectful to put their flag just about everywhere. People were wearing ‘em as capes, sarongs, and just about everybody had one.
Plus, they had hats, cool hats, at Red Dot for FOUR DOLLARS. I almost wept with joy.
