There probably never will be either I suspect, just as there is no "kangaroo" day or "billbie" or "kookaburra" day. There are not any animal holidays in America either and won't be. Holidays in the U.S. celebrate people or things.

There will probably be an Independence Day soon for Aus if the petition I saw today negating any involvement in U.S. issues gains more ground.

There should be a platypus day - a day made up out of all the leftover bits of other holidays.

I liked Robin Williams' take on it: "Do you think God ever gets stoned?" "Take a look at the platypus then-he's a mammal....but he lays eggs.....got a duck's beak...hey! Darwin!"

If I lived in Australia I would have to live in a house like this. It would have to be in the Melbourne area near the Bass Strait. See my fantastic swimming pool. The second floor above the pool is probably the bedrooms. At the far left are the living room, dining room, and my big library. And each of those chimneys lead down to an authentic fireplace. Of course this mansion would have the latest security features which I would have vastly upgraded!

If it's down near Bass Straight I hope the pool is heated, tm.

Plus you will need a well-stocked bar fridge/cellar for when we all come and visit you.

Is that a wall to keep Kim Jong-un's toys out?

My mansion will have two big rooms off the kitchen. One is a gigantic pantry filled with every kind of food, and big refrigerators filled with beer, fruit juices, water, and freezers filled with every kind of frozen food. The other huge room is a gigantic recreation room with all kinds of things in it. A bowling alley, pool tables, arcade size and quality video games, big plasma t.v., dvd players and a huge vault containing 10,000 videos,and a full size bar with every liquor from around the world.

As for the security it will be as safe as the American White House. There will be 50mm Gatlin type machine guns filled with copper jacketed exploding rounds, pulse lasers, a wall surrounding my estate that has an electric fence with a current of 50,000 volts. The wall is un-breachable. 27 inches thick brick re-enforced with titanium-tantalum-iridium plates. even a low yield nuclear missle could not penetrate it. The mansion would be built on an artificial ridge on land right near Bass Strait.

Just a guess, but I'm supposing you don't want any visitors.

Hey! Straying quokkas might get zapped on your fence!

I hope you have made allowance for that possibility.
