My first Australia Day!

I celebrated my first Australia Day last Saturday with a bit of work in the garden supported by the whole Millis family (they are so helpful, it is brilliant!) and then a delicious burger BBQ all with stubbies, flies and Aussie pants.


It was so hot that day that I decided to christian my paddling pool, Great IDEA!!! James filled it up and Craig chucked in some ice cubes... aahhh!!! What a relief!



It is unbelievable how many flies there are since the big rain. Quite disgusting! We have put up a fly trap, wondering if it would work. Over the next 24 hrs we were mesmerised (especially with that hangover)by watching this plastic container fill up at an amazing speed with hundreds and hundreds of flies. Absolutely yuk!!! If you feel squeamish about flies, do not click on this to enlarge!




After setting this much needed fly trap and enjoying family BBQ lunch we went into town with Vanessa, her friend Christy, Paul, Davo Craig and me and drank and danced from 3 pm until early morning hours. What a day! We had great fun even though we missed the cockroach races and every body was very very pissed and dressed in silly variations of the Australian flag.
