What do Australians do on Australia Day?
My observations:
Barbecue.
Beers.
Beach.
Tennis.
Fireworks.
Day off work.
Cricket.
Family.
Sun.
Nothing too stunningly patriotic there I must say. I can say that because I don't actually do anything very Australian on Australia Day either. That in itself is very Australian.
I hope no one from overseas ever reads this semi-confession of an un-patriotic and confused Australian.
I feel like I've typed the word 'Australia' too many times to pass as good English so I'd better move on to some photos which can speak for themselves.
This is where I found myself this morning, on the 26th of January 2012.
Scot's Presbyterian Church in the heart of Melbourne city.
