After all the years lived outside the land of my birth I never forget the major holidays there, the most notable being Australia Day, the Aussie version of our American Fourth of July!
Celebrated with the typical Aussie "barbie"[barbecue],
at the beach,
sailing, or one of the other many outdoor activities beloved in this "lucky land".

No celebration of Australia would ever be complete without a stirring rendition of the quintessential Aussie song "Waltzing Matilda" here narrated and sung by Aussie icon Rolf Harris.
"I Still Call Australia Home" is played on Qantas each time a flight leaves or returns to Australia.
And last but not least, the very Aussie 'Men At Work' and their "Land DownUnder". The lyrics are wonderful!
I wanted to load the videos on my blog but Blogger is not cooperating and keeps giving me the same annoying error message, but click on any of the above songs and it will take you direct to Youtube. I spent waaay too much time trying in vain to "fix" this problem and now I give up or it will be 27th. before I post!
For your Australia Day entertainment!
