Meanwhile, in Australia Carefull, We Descended from Criminals

Australia Day Tommorow

Sam Kekovich promotes Australia day and lamb for the Australian Lamb Board each year in his own unique and slightly racist way, promising the cure to un-Australian ways of life and global crisis’s.

Australia Day is celebrated each year on January 26 to mark the first arrival of European settlement on this quaint little island. Unlike many other much celebrated national holidays around the world, Australia Day holds very little significance to the average citizen with less than half knowing the significance of the long weekend creating holiday. Instead the holiday is used to celebrate what makes Australia great: drinking beer and starting some street cricket with the relatives, taping as many Australian flags as you can get your hands on onto your Japanese made car, going to “that one really nice quiet beach” along with ten thousand other people and celebrating that although we have one of the lowest population densities in the world, we are still full (apparently).

But don’t get us wrong, we are a lovely country, we only went to war because there was a free trade agreement in it for us. We love Australia and we love celebrating how lucky we are that our ancestors stole a loaf of bread and were sent to the most luxurious prison ever imagined. So as you enjoy your snow, your rain, overcast days, cold weather, short days and work, spare a thought for us poor Australians, tanning on Bondi Beach, beer in hand bikini/speedo around our bits and enjoying 320 days of glorious sunlight every year. Bloody Convicts.
