Hmm - beer, Australian flag, vegemite, football, 1 very tanned mascot. I'm guessing maybe Australia Day? Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!
And not too long ago several of you Aussies were trying to convince me that you are not a very patriotic lot. Now we know the truth... "Thank you, thank you very much" Elvis.

Chris, Please correct me if I'm wrong but today the Big Day Out is rocking Sydney, isn't it? :confused: Is there any kind of concerts in Canberra by now? Cheers, xico
I think the Big Day Out is in Sydney today (not sure). Nothing like that in Canberra :( cheers, Chris Maunder
