HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

[marko_the_rat]

For me, night is closing on my Australia Day celebrations, but for you lucky Americans the day is just starting! Go on, just once today say "G'day" to someone and if they ask you why, tell them it's Australia Day and that's how we say "Hello" down here. We have a lot to be proud of in what we rightly call the lucky country and I hope you can celebrate with us.

shiningriver recommended I pass on this story about the extraordinary life of a roo called Myrtle to my readers, and it seems very apposite that I should do so on Australia Day.
