<div class="IPBDescription">26th of January</div> Australians all let us rejoice
for we are young and free;
We've golden soils and wealth for toil,
our home is girt by seas.
Our lands abound in nature's gifts
of beauty, rich and rare.
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia Fair!"

Beneath our radiant southern cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands
to make this commonwealth of ours
renowned of all the lands
for those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share
With courage let us all combine,
to Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia Fair!"

Happy 'Straya Day, everyone!

    Which is?

    You don't think that maybe Australia Day might be something celebrated within the confines of Australia's timezones? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Two up is held on ANZAC Day, not Australia Day.

    EDIT: And for the rest of the world with no idea what Two up is.
    <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-up' target='_blank'>Two up</a>

    Hence the seldom heard expression "Come in spinner"

    Dammit, you're right. Meh, I knew it was one of these damn holidays.

    Still: vegemite, aeroplane jelly, cold beer, sausages, lamb (hehehe those ads are hilarious), not working, Bob Downe singing Land Downunder.

    Happy Australia Day!
