I just love Australia day. I love the hot weather and it is at the perfect time to be that little long weekend reward for managing to get back to work after Christmas/New Years.
I hate all the talk about moving it. It doesn't co-incide truly with any real event, and none of us run around celebrating the landing of the first fleet. It is just a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the outdoors with a beer on a hot day and celebrate how good life is being here.
I even loved having the Triple J Hot 100 playing on the day, but shame on those JJJ idiots for killing that opportunity to promote alternative music all around the country when they actually are out and are listening. Now alternative music, of which Australia offers some of the best in the world, will retreat back to irrelevance.
