tom in bangkok Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) How are you Aussies celebrating Australia Day on Sunday? Sadly I don't have a bbq right now, so I'm heading to Australia Bar near BTS Nana on the day. Apparently they make a really good steak sandwich. What are you true blue Aussies doing on Sunday?

4MyEgo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Being its on a Sunday, I usually go to the local waterhole and listen to blokes from all around the UK telling their boring stories, hence the reason they got their name whinging poms, all jokes aside, it helps pass the time, but you can't beat a get together with Aussie's, now that's another waterhole that I frequent on 3 other nights, but it lacks sheila's, gotta have one shiela to look at, even if it's the UK bar owners wife, at least once a week oi 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StreetCowboy Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 That’s grand that Australia Day coincides with Chinese New Year. I’m planning on cycling to the centre of town for a pub lunch, but not because it’s Australia Day. Maybe I’ll turn my phone upside down 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brain150 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I think it's very appropriate to have a celebration while half your country is burning into the ground ... But it's for sure a good reason to have a cold one on all the dying animals and all the people who lose everything ! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt there were many of the convicts still around by then. There were more soldiers than convicts originally so it might be fairer to say we were founded on law and order.

DUNROAMIN Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Apparently, according to the new trend on changing Australia Day to some other day because it offends our indigenous population, I will be praying to Budda for forgiveness for steeling their country, that's after I have a meat pie with a cold beer watching AFL.

By 1935, January 26 was known as Australia Day in all states except New South Wales, where it was still called Anniversary Day. From 1946, January 26 was called Australia Day in all states and territories, and since 1994, the Australia Day public holiday has been on January 26 throughout the country. The First DAY of Mourning was held in 1938, before the day was recognised by all states. 56 years before it became a public holiday So not a new "trend" Edited January 24, 2020 by RJRS1301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
