Gentleman - what do you do ?
I could be taken as shallow in saying thisplease forgive me in advance
But!
The best thing I find about Australia Day, despite the variance in what day it shoulda coulda woulda be celebrated
Is
That on the 26th, we do unite as a nation(with the usual conflictations anyone has in a multicultural society) we do still come together and say I'm an aussie and I'm proud of it with all that I am
I like this element
Equally, I honour all the other important elements in our history.
And Anzac Day, rates high on my radar
To me, so long as we find peace as a multicultural society.
That's what's matters !
I enjoy stopping to listen to the variance of music, arts and everything in Australia that makes our nation what is - a joy!
I do like the opportunity to say thank you for Oz being what it is today and compared to many nations, that's a lot!
;D we have a lot of freedoms in australia.

well I have a bad experience in an Australia Day couple of years ago.. I was travelling in a bus with a female friend to see the fireworks and neither me or the friend is Australian.. Both of us got abused so much by the Aussies to a point we had to get out of the bus!
that was the only racial abuse I've had in this country , and ironically that was on an Australia Day!
