January 26th marks Australia’s National holiday “Australia Day”, and the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet, consisting of 11 convicts ships en route from Great Britain with those on board doing little more than stealing a slie of bread. It also marks the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by Fleet Commander, Captain Arthur Philip in 1788.
Australian’s come together as a nation to welcome the newest batch of Australian citizen’s, and to celebrate all that is great about Australia, and all that it means to be an Australian. It is time to reflect on what we have achieved as a nation, and a time to be proud of our great nation.
Naturally this means taking the day off from work, inviting some friends and family over, chucking some snags on the barbie, cracking open a bottle of VB, and playing a game of backyard cricket!! Or if the weather is good, heading out to one of the many outdoor community events and fireworks displays.
What better way to celebrate “Australia Day” here at the Hub, than reliving some “The Colbert Report’s” best Australian moments, including the great Australian sperm shortage, STD Koala’s, Goodbye Jef Goldblum, and 2012 “Australian of the Year” Geoffrey Rush.
Those wishing to continue their Auss-ucation, I highly recommened watching the following Australin classic films:
- Priscilla Queen of the Desert
- Muriel’s Wedding
- The Castle
- The Adventures of Barry McKenzie
- Picnic at Hanging Rock
- Wolf Creek
- Dying Breed
- Gallipoli
- Kokoda
- The Man from Snowy River
- Ned Kelly
- Shine
- Wog Boy
- Rabbit Proof Fence
- Kenny
- Strictly Ballroom
Of course this post wouldn’t be complete without an introduction to some Australian slang!!
