Australia Day flotilla..

In the city yesterday to meet up with friend and fellow Perth blogger Sami and just arrived blogger from Braunschweig, Iris and husband Ingo. So much going on in the city with Australia Day celebrations in full swing. P and I didn't stay for the fireworks this year but after a walk around Elizabeth Quay in the early evening we have our spot picked out for next year, as did the flotilla of boats in all shapes and sizes waiting here. Australia Day, known to a growing community of Australians as 'Invasion Day', the day 231 years ago when the First Fleet landed in Port Jackson. I'm disappointed with our PM's speech today lamenting that the 26th Jan 1788 was 'pretty miserable' for his ancestor, of course for the new arrivals it would have been tough, but for the Indigenous Australians even tougher. Seriously it's time.. what's the problem with celebrating a week earlier, a week later, whatever.. change the date! Happy Sunday, take care and stay safe..
