Australia Day celebrates the anniversary of the first British fleet landing in Port Jackson on the 26th january 1788 and Australia becoming part of the British sovereignty. In contrast the 4th of july celebrates America becoming an independant country from Great Britain in 1776.

Happy Australia Day to my Fellow Aussies !!

In Melbourne today we are expecting 28C, with 38C tomorrow and 40C Thursday!! Lovely hot weather!!

Melbourne has Australia Day celebrations by the Yarra River which includes a big duck race where you buy a plastic bath duck and they are raced down the river for charity

We are heading in to the city for the celebrations and to have a BBQ

Having a very laid back day - although I'm thoroughly over the tennis and the cricket!! Also getting a bit jack of the heat... it's not too bad today (perfect BBQ weather ), but after a brief reprieve, we're in for another week of 100-105F days - YIKES!!!!

Anyhoo, the other half is enjoying a cold beer and a day off work

Hope all my fellow Aussies are also enjoying the day!
