HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY
You know you're Australian when.........
* You know the difference between thongs and a G-string.
* You know that “stubbies” are either short shorts or small beer bottles.
* You’re liable to burst out laughing when you hear Americans “rooting” for something.
* You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, lezzo, metho, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto etc.
* You know that some ppl pronounce Australia like “Straya” and that’s ok.
* You know that there is a universal place called “woop woop” located in the middle of nowhere… no matter where you actually are.
* You know that while we call our friends ‘mates’, we don’t use terms like ‘sheila’ and ‘shrimp on the barbie,' contrary to popular belief.
* You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer, because it tastes like shit. But we let the world think we do. Because we can.
* One word: Skippy.
* You know that Sydney should be the capital, because Canberra is a hole.
* You feel obliged to spread salty black stuff that looks like congealed motor oil on bread… and actually grow to like it.
* You have the ability to compress several words into one – i.e ‘g’day’ and ‘d’reckn?’. This allows more space for profanities.
* You've used the words – tops, ripper, sick, mad, rad, sweet – to mean good. And then you place ‘bloody’ in front of it when you REALLY mean it.
* You say ‘no worries’ quite often, whether you realise it or not.
* You know the first verse to the national anthem, but still don’t know what “girt” means. And you’re ok with that.
* You’ve drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam.
* You know that backyard cricket is a nice way to bond with family and the rubbish bin. And the ‘one bounce, one hand’ rule always applies.
* Sausage rolls and meat pies. End of story.
* You firmly believe that in the end, everything will be ok and have offered advice that included the words, “she’ll be right, mate”.
* You have a story that somehow involves an excessive consumption of booze… but you can’t remember.
* You know how to slip, slop, slap like it’s nobody’s business.
* You know there’s no lbw in backyard cricket, and over the fence is out.
* You know Drop Bears exist. Positively.
* You know Australia IS the best bloody place on earth.

The Outback is the vast, remote interior of Australia. "The Outback" is more remote than those areas named "the bush" which is any location outside the main urban areas. ... Culturally, the Outback is deeply ingrained in Australian heritage, history and folklore.

This area was decimated in the 2009 bushfires and it is still recovering. There are still skeletons of gum trees dotted throughout the landscape but it is a beautiful location and nights like these you wouldn't even know!! Bonus, its less than 2 hours from Melbourne and light pollution free.

I arranged for a VIP tour with a golf cart so that we could see more of the Zoo and my wife would not have to walk as much because of her foot surgery. It was well worth it.
This young female(?) joey Koala was posing for my camera. She was in the open area with her brother and other sibling.

We never tire of talking about koalas at the San Diego Zoo, ever since we welcomed our first pair, Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, back in 1925. Since then, we have become famous for having the largest koala colony as well as the most successful koala breeding program outside of Australia. Our koalas can be seen from walkways around a Queenslander-style “house” that serves as our koala care center, where you can see wildlife care specialists preparing eucalyptus browse for the koalas. Because male koalas can be territorial, they have their own perches in one area, while the more social females and their babies, called joeys, share another area. The elevated walkways bring you to eye level with the koalas as they perch in their forest of eucalyptus. Human children can practice their koala-climbing skills on a play structure that features life-size koala sculptures.

I felt like I should probably make something for Australia Day, and I thought what's more Australian than Franky from Housos.
Went over to Newcastle Ocean Baths yesterday for the sunset but all these clouds rolled in which actually made for some good shots that I'm very happy with
