Australia Day


Last week we got to celebrate Australia Day!!  The best way that we would describe would be that it's pretty similar to the US celebrating the 4th of July.  Our town puts on a big event on the beach front which kicks of at 8am and ends with a big fireworks display at night.  The beach front is full of markets, art, crafts, beach games and live entertainment.  It is quite the day!   Sean and I decided that we'd walk down for a bit and see what it's all about.  It was such a HOT day and was super crowded that we only stayed for about 20 minutes!  There were people dressed in Australia flags with their faces painted everywhere!  Cars were driving by with flags flying off the back.  We went back later in the evening to the fireworks.  It was neat to be able to see and celebrate a holiday that is unique to Australia.  


We tried to be sneaky and take a picture of the car with the flag!
