Aussie Day .

The nationalistic Australia Day celebrating the founding of Australia and the start of white settlement or as some say Invasion Day when whites ended the peaceful 40,000 year occupation of aboriginal Australia the First Australians but whatever its a day of celebration and a lot of flying the flag and reflection on this great country and its people . A Land of Droughts and Flooding Rains words made famous by Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar in her famous My Sunburnt Country and it certainly has been living up to its name of late with the worst flooding in many decades testing the will and resolve of many in S/E Queensland and Victoria .
