Happy Invasion Day!!
Hope everyone has a great day, but also remembers the plight of indigenous on this date. I hope one day Australia day is moved to another date, maybe federation.

We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... and then we return home.

With all these Poms flooding into the country, every day is Invasion Day.
When will our government stem the tide of the "White Peril"!?

I wonder how many other countries celebrate the overthrow of the previous countries occupiers/rulers, as their new "special" day.

Having said that, I would prefer the date to be changed. Federation would be preferable, or even better, the date that we finally become a republic.

The day that Australia becomes a Republic does sound the perfect solution.

Happy Australia day to everyone - especially those of you in the UK about to arrive soon. I have been here for 24 years and never been back - you will love it! If you are in Brissie anyway and not Townsville lol
