fleabo Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 My OH reminded me that today is exactly 15 years since I first set foot on Australian soil. Anyone else, other than Captain Arthur Philip and me, who arrived on the 26th? I watched the Red Arrows fly around the harbour but missed the fireworks at night (jetlag). Stayed at a lovely hotel at The Rocks. Happy Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluster13 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sorry No. We didn't land here on the 26th. But have just spent our first Austria day here ! What a great day just had the most amazing firework display on the beach after a full day of entertainment organised by the local government. A public holiday dedicated to just celebrating being Australian. The uk could take a lesson from this. Happy Aus day Fleabo. And congrats on 15 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest31881 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Well i think its a great compliment that the whole country comes to a standstill to celebrate the day you arrived. You must have made a real impression 15yrs ago. :wink::wink:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
