Haha. I couldn't think of anything else 'typically' Australian I had lying around the place, except Vegemite. And since I don't eat Vegemite, the Hills Hoist won! ;D
*jumps in* It marks the day that the First Fleet arrived here 221 years ago. It was the day that the British colonized Australia. But we use to it celebrate everything we love about Australia and what makes us proud to live here.
Happy Australia Day! Thanks to your comments, Google, and Wikipedia, I now know what both Australia Day and the Hills Hoist are. You have officially broadened my horizons! \o/
Thanks! You Googled and Wikipedia'd 'Australia Day' and the 'Hills Hoist'??? That's awesome! I bet it must have been a bit strange seeing a photo of washing on a clothes line with the caption 'Happy Australia Day'. It's not like we all do our washing on this day each year. lol.

I had an okay day - not very Australian though since it's Chinese New Year too. :p
How about you?

I didn't do a thing. I think I fail as an Australian. :(
From:

Aww, you don't fail bb. *hugs* I'm pretty sure a lot of Australian's didn't do much either.

You realise any non-Australian's reading these comments will get a strange image of us standing around a bbq singing in our thongs, singing. lol!

Well that's their fault for being un-Australian ROFL
just kidding
They'll probably just think we're being weird or something
