As a South African I have many friends and family members who have migrated to Australia so most of us feel a real kinship with the Australians.

 

What are you guys doing doing to celebrate?

• Getting ready for a hunt in the backlands
• Taking the pet Kangaroo out for a walk
• Making sure the sheep are well groomed and presentable
• Or making sure the old barbecue is cleaned

Cheers mate, had a great day hunting in the outback with my pet kangaroo prior to grooming my sheep and cleaning my barbecue.

For some reason, the image of a cat's face and front paws peeking out of a kangaroo pouch came to my mind. Probably means it's about time to get back to snoozin'.

 

Happy day/cheers.

Heh, came back to Brisbane at the end of the week, just to see the weather turn to utter crap. Ah well, at least Sydney was nice and sunny. Luckily my place is on the upper part of a hill side, so it's not going to get flooded. Happy Australia Day indeed (all cooped up, with trees falling down around me, at least my internet connection is working).

Did you encounter any dropbears?

Why would your own personal experience apply to most South Africans? I'd imagine the black majority doesn't feel any kinship with Australians, especially of the Anglo-Saxon variety.

 

Anyway, since my sister is staying with her Kiwi boyfriend in Brisbane, I'll construct an island detention facility on foreign soil for people caught trying to illegally enter the country by seas.

Valid point, most Black South Africans probably don't feel much kinship to Australia

 

But as I mentioned in the circles I move in many people have immigrated to Oz so for us it has become the closest place to South Africa in the world. Also we have a long and much loved sports rivalry with Australia. In cricket and rugby. So I suppose its better so say White South Africans especially like Australia.

The best thing about Australia day, it's a paid holiday.

In other news, the typical fan of Obsidian on Facebook is between 25 and 34 and from Melbourne. Keep it up Australia!

Good job, Oz-Cit.

 

I'm considering moving, but I don't know how much money wholesale tweed-spitters make out there.

I did Gfted1, but they were too high on eucalyptus leaves to pose any threat.

Bugger all.

 

And don't come to Perth.

Just another day off to play video games and watch TV and movies.
