Happy Australia Day!

Today is Australia Day. It's a national holiday (unless it falls on a weekend like today, then we get the Monday off).
Everyone dons their thongs, swimmers, hats and zinc, and heads to the beach.
Or we fill the Eskys with ice, grab a cold one, and throw some snags on the BBQ for lunch while lazing by the pool.
It's a great day.
But ... my favourite thing about Australia day ...
Pavlova!
My mum always makes the pav with one of these:
And it's the best pav ever!
Things I love about being an Aussie and living in Australia:
- Summer BBQs
- The fact that the only pair of shoes you need all summer is a pair of Havaianas
- Wearing singlet tops and short skirts
- The smell of sunscreen
- Running around under the sprinkler
- Friendship and how nice Aussies are in general (we're pretty awesome!)
- Our Beaches
- Dancing in a sunshower
- Camping in the Aussie bush, or by the beach

Happy Australia Day!!! I live in northern NSW, and I'm pretty sure the word "celebration" is synonymous with "rain". -_- So no sunscreen and BBQs for us. But yay for Pavlova! And lamingtons! We always make lamingtons. :)
ReplyDeleteLove a good pavlova. I've seen those magic things everywhere but haven't tried one yet - maybe I'll give it a go!
ReplyDeleteSO...I need to brush up on my Aussie-isms. **takes note frantically** Have a wonderful celebration!
ReplyDeleteThose pavs are the best! I hope you enjoyed one today. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by everyone. Unfortunately I didn't get my Pav this year because I was camping in the bush. They are not the easiest thing to cook without an oven lol.
