australia day yesterday
as a (3rd-generation) australian, i'm not entirely sure about exactly what to make of this day or precisely how to feel about the key event which it commemorates ..... well i ain't really gonna go into too much detail here, at least not now, but i am a lot of my compatriots feel kinda similar, both about australia day and the current australian flag; my main gripe with the latter is that red. blue & white bit which presently takes up the upper left corner ... i don't really see that it's appropriate for it to be there, or at least for it to take up that much space on the australian, particularly in the absence of other flags/symbols .... anyhow, that'll change sooner or later.
and just for the record, i did have a BBQ & watch some cricket on the day ...
