Straya Day 2013

What’s the bet it’ll rain on the long weekend, like it usually does on long weekends. Ruined have been these outings thanks to the government for gazetting our days off, so that the weather bureau can order some precipitation in advance.

What a time to celebrate Australia’s National Birthday, outside in the middle of sweltering conditions.

What must the weather have been like when Capt. Phillip set foot in Sydney on January 26, 1788. Was it hot, or was it not so hot? Maybe he had a seabreeze protecting Australia’s first settlers from the heat. Bet there was no such thing as “climate change” back then. Ay Carbon Tax supporters?

Are you trying to be clever or just having another half witted rant?

Hot and dry, middle of a drought. When Cpt. Cook sailed past and mapped everything on the east coast in 1770, they liked the look of Botany Bay for a settlement. Nice and green, plenty of water, good area etc. When Cpt. Phillip arrived in 1788 with the First Fleet, Botany Bay was dry as hell and unsuitable for settlement. The decision was made to continue travelling north to a more suitable place, which turned out to be Sydney Cove.

So we can suggest two possibilities: (i) it was hot, dry and in the middle of a drought in 1788 when Cpt Phillip invaded, or (ii) 1770 was a very wet year when Cpt Cook toured the east coast.

Invaded?

Due to circumstances beyond my control, and to my utter disbelief, I’m doing that most Australian of things on Australia Day, and heading off to Bali. Given that this act actually featured in that brilliant vid, I fear that my coefficient of boganosity which I normally like to keep around zero, has redlined.

Stay off the methanol mate, we want you back in one piece.

Will do, and cheers for that. 🙂

Peppa Pig looks like a Picasso. Make a comparison:

Tell me I’m wrong and I’ll have to glass you. Hope that makes me properly Strayan. Somehow I don’t think I’ve got the hang of it…

Singha! Wash your mouth out!

To be truly bogan in Bali you’d need to sit yourself down to watch the cricket with a stubby of VB.

Peppa Pig? Oh my, the ACT muslim advisory council won’t like that at all. Will there be hallal meat at the great Aussie day breakfast and shouldn’t it be flags raising as the Torres Strait islanders and aboriginies won’t enjoy the occupation flag being raised alone.

Hey, I haven’t been there…

Don’t forget your thongs, Singha beer tank top and cheap sombrero.

Love it.

Trouble with the straya day video is that no one plays league on staya day. Should have been cricket. Duh.

Also, the youtube comments make me worried about the youf of today

Whats on at the beach on straya day, since lots of us will be there? Eating snitz at the club while restocking the pokies

Awesome video! 😀

Great Video.

Peppa Pig on Australia Day? Heads will roll if Sam Kekovich hears about this!

I’m a Peppa Pig fan, as is my son. It is pretty funny actually, but think it might be ruined by an in-person (pig?) showing. Glad we won’t be in Canberra to have to go and see that one.
