I...along with my useless brothers (and don't get me started on my sister and sister's-in-law) would be be all out for 8 against the kids and grandkids declared at 31. Stupid backyard cricket!
After the barby we're playing backyard footy, where size and weight count for more than skill.

We should get ourselves a more appropriate day to celebrate, how about Jan 1?

Well , then they better start gettin' busy in their spare time and prove me correct, Or, we could just borrow a few from NZ

As for a date, not sure, It should be Jan 1 when we became a nation on Jan 1, It should be changed as today's date does offend the Aborigines. If a date were ever seriously discussed, they should have a big say in it

And, palo, since I gave ya honorary citizenship, Are you havin' a BBQ today

I'll be grilling something, probably homemade hamburgers, onions and tomatos. I have a portable grill in the kitchen

And I'll drink to your health, and Australia's

No, my taste is much simpler. No need for all those cosmetics

Just take a handful of mince, wrap it around half a handful of chopped onions, and grill it till the meat in the middle is almost starting to cook. Serve with grilled or raw tomatos, onions, super-hot mustard & booze

If you're still hungry, do two or three more

Our mince is different. We only get beef, pork, or beef & pork mix. There is no lamb, or if there is, I've never seen it. I take beef & pork - it just has to be fresh

There is a motor festival in Sydney every Jan 26, this year with new sponsors. The format was changed a little. I've posted pics of cars not previously included over the last two years in our "cars' thread, you can do a search using my member name for 2011 and 2012.

They were giving out flags, I quite like the one from the Imperial German Navy but they didn't seem to have it.

This is a walk-through around Hyde Park and Macquarie St which is one of Sydney's prettiest. I have included some gracious colonial buildings.

Achtung!

Macquarie St near Hyde Park. Two Francis Greenway buildings either side, The Barracks and St James:

Sydney Mint:

Sydney Hospital:

Parliament House:

Mitchell Library:

A fine line-up of Buicks:

Intercontinental (Treasury Building):

Edit~ I meant to add there is a Vauxhall towing a caravan in there, your worst nightmare. No sorry, your worst nightmare is getting stuck behind it in 1961.

But I'd love it regardless.

I actually liked the Vauxhall Cresta's. The old man had one briefly in the '60's before he reverted back to Holdens. (A step backward, imho).
Some nice Ramblers there also. They were really 'classy' for their time.

My (sydneysider un-communist) brother says you're nuts if you buy an Australian-made car. He says no one buys them because everyone knows they're all sh*t. I'm not joking, he really said that

What do other Australians say?
