australia day

Semi-candid portrait of a friend's son at his family's annual Australia Day party (January 26).

 

Our national day is problematic as it is commemorates the arrival of the first European settlers in 1788. The anniverary of federation would be a less racially insensitive date on which to celebrate Australian nationhood but that's January 1st -- most of us would be too hungover. ;)
