Australia Day
Dearest V ... Today, 26 January 2013, is Australia Day so Mrs J and I decided to head for the Alexander Gardens close to the CBD. My what a spectacle! We saw cultural groups from Turkey, to Tibet and Sicily. There were highland bands, Chinese dragons and impressionists from the Eureka Stockade. We saw ukulele players, jugglers and flamenco dancers. There were Chevrolets, Jaguars and Holden cars. We saw snakes, crocodiles and dingoes. Present were Batman, Captain America and Johnny Depp look a likes. Not to mention a Doctor Who, a dalek and Harry Potter. People ate all kinds of food from roti bread, to pizza and lamb kebabs ..... and all this in just one park, just in one morning. Happy Australia Day one and all. Mr & Mrs J.
