January 26 is Australia Day. Did you and your family do anything special to celebrate? I found this great video – watch it and see how many different typical Aussie icons you can recognize. In the comment area, leave some information about that icon or what your family did.

Miss W,
I had a fantastic Australia Day. I went to a BBQ at a friends house and then went along to the Australian Open. It was great to see the Womens final live on the big screen.
Cheers

G’day Miss W,
I love Australia Day, it’s a good chance to hang out with friends and family and listen to Triple J’s latest hottest 100. Did you have a “Let’s Celebrate Australia Day” party?

My Australia Day was quite relaxing I went to salamanca Market and spent the day with family and friends.
Cheers

My family hosted an Australia Day party that included 5 families coming over mid-afternoon for a BBQ. We all enjoyed great company, fantastic food and games for all!
I don’t celebrate Australia Day as I think it is a contentious date and insensitive to Aboriginal people. A new date should be set to celebrate the diversity and spirit that exists today.
My Australia Day was wonderful. Spent with friends and family, delicious food and a game of cricket.
Hi Miss W,
I had a very quiet Australia Day…enjoyed going out to dinner with my husband and catching up with the tennis but didn’t do anything specific to Aust Day celebrations.
Cheers
Ann
I avoided Australia Day celebrations as I think it is all a tad over the top. Sure Australia is a great place to live but until our Indigenous people are recogized in the constitution and those seeking refuge are welcomed with open arms I won’t be celebrating Australia Day.
“Out on the patio, I sit”. It’s strange how terminology has changed – it’s a deck now. Loved mine on Australia Day.
Hi Miss W,
I was at a weddng ths year. I wonder how many long weekends are used for weddngs.

Dear Miss W,
At our school in England we had a special ‘Australia Day’ lunch menu. The children had not heard of Australia Day before, so it made us look it up and find out a little bit more!
Great Blog!

G’day Mrs M and class,
Thanks for the great comment. What sort of food did you have for your Australia Day lunch? I hope it included vegemite, lamingtons, meat pies, pavlova and peach melba.
