Happy Australia Day

[Blobfish]

Happy Australia Day. Today is Australia's National day and holiday.

And marks the date January 26 1788, with the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip.

In present-day Australia, celebrations reflect the diverse society and landscape of the nation, with citizens sculling beers from an esky during the day,
and eating Lambs' at night.

A lot of Aussies will be up to, surfing, fishing, going to horse races or taking it easy at home.

So glad about this years winner of Australian of the year Professor Mackay-Sim's and his research using Stem Cells

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politi...25-gtyiq7.html

His work was central to the 2014 surgery that allowed Darek Fidyka, a Polish firefighter, to walk again and even ride a custom-built bicycle.
This made him the first paraplegic in the world to recover mobility after the complete severing of the spinal nerves. The success was hailed by fellow researcher Geoff Raisman as more impressive than the moon landing.

Anyway if you go for a surf later, look how lucky this 10 year old kid was yesterday, when he surfed over the head of a
Great White Shark (Jaws), of the NSW Coast yesterday. His father took the photo.

The only shame this year is for some god forsaken reason they played that shitty Beyonce album. If that crap is in the 100 it will be severely fucked.

I think flume will win but if i am honest i hope A.B. Original win with January 26. They had some good music this year and Dan Sultan has just a damn smooth voice.

Thank you.
And if it wasn't for the USA protecting Australia in the Battle of the Coral Sea in WW2
We would all be eating sushi and driving Toyota's and Mazda's down under.

The Mighty USA shed a lot of blood for its Allies in WW2.

The only litte quirk anti American sentiment during WW2 was that American GIs where picking up all the Australian Ladies
when they where camped here. A bit of jealously and fights started between locals and the Americans over local ladies. lol

I'll have you know there's no blood in my alcohol system.

Happy Australia Day!

Not bad, not bad.

Our rivalry isn't really that bad though, unless someone brings up the origin of lamingtons.

This here's the wattle, the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand.

Someone had to. Happy Australia Day!
