Hope our awesome Aussie members had a great Australia Day. BBQ for lunch with my boys and their families, nice bike ride out to catch up with some fellow riders from elsewhere. Lots of sunshine here on the southwest coast
I basically slept through it until the local fireworks woke me up and I ran to see if my fifteen year old cat was in the house. I'm a complete home body, one of these light years I'll manage to make it to the big do in the city.
We don't have fireworks here on Australia day, our council decided that as we have 2 lots on new years eve we don't need any more. The new years eve ones keep us home as they are really close to us and my dogs do the sooky bit so we have to stay home with them, but I can se them from my house so it doesn't bother me. Doesn't worry my cats at all.
I've had dogs that hate fireworks like all dogs usually do but I had one dog that was just interested in them and would sit out on the patio looking up when they were going off. There was definitely something wrong with that lovable little shit, she was so feisty as well.
It's funny with my lot. My white cat was born deaf so the others are freaking out about the noise and she's sitting there going "herp derp, what's everyone jumping about? Ohhhh lookit the pretty lights!"
230 I believe. Australia Day marks the day that the First Fleet sailed into Sydney harbour. It's also known to some as "Invasion Day" due to the actions of the First Fleet towards the indigenous peoples.
Australia as a country though is 117 years old, as it was formed as a Commonwealth on 01/01/1901
I would like to visit there some day but it won't ever happen yous have a couple of things my wife is terrified of snakes and spiders as it is she runs from garden snakes and dock spiders lol she would kill me if she new I was laughing about it. 🙂
We don't really worry too much about snakes or spiders, I think we have a higher death rate from shark attacks. Spiders are useful, they catch the flies and other bugs so it is catch and release back outside.
I think she has heard to many stories from family members that lived there and watches too much t.v 🙂
We all have our critters in every part of the world. In Texas, we have Black Widows, Brown Recluses, Rattlesnakes, Coral Snakes, Water Moccasins...
