@Joe Nation,
Well, here it's already 26/1.

Australia Day.

Or Invasion Day.

However you look at it.

On January 1838, state premiers celebrated 50 years of colonisation.

The Sydney Gazette highlighted the success of colonisation by comparing the “untutored savage” and “miserable gunya of the wandering Aborigine” with the white “industrious and civilised man” in an “extensive and flourishing town”.

Meanwhile, about 100 Aborigines gathered in Sydney for a day of mourning and protest about their treatment


I believe the Aussies have worked hard to rectify the past maltreatment of the native population. Fair dinkum?
In any case, some of my dearest friends on this forum are antipods

I think the Wabbit First Fleeters were as reluctant as the convict ones.

"Fair dinkum" is not a question. it is a statement.
g'day is not a farwell. it is a greeting.

Fair dinkum COULD be a question.

If we used it these days.

He's asking if something is true.

Sometimes it's wise to be wrong for the right reason.

I meant to mention that Jan 25th or 25 Jan has been declared "the most depressing day of the year".

Did I forget?

We can't get lots of books via Kindle and the like.

We can't get music stuff like Pandora, for instance.
