This is the evil sight that welcomed us at work today. A belated Australia Day special. Lamingtons, because Australia!

I Still Call Australia Home
Today we celebrate Australia 🇦🇺 Day. There is much to celebrate! Relative safety, sun, parks, beaches, transport, coffee. Work. Opportunity to grow. We made a decision ten years ago. To take up a challenge, and make Australia home. We did, and we have never looked back.
Thank you, Australia, we still call Australia home!
Australia Day!
Today we woke up to Australia Day, the day to celebrate all things Australian. It also marks the end of the summer holidays with schools going back on Thursday. A moment for me to be quiet and recognize the blessings of being in a safe (as can be) country, and having a stable home and work environment. Not forgetting healthy children. We have been here eight years and Australia has been good to us.
Australian National Anthem
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
