G’day Mate Today is Straya Day as Occa Aussies call it and it’s the day we come together as a nation to celebrate all things Australian weather that be going to the beach for a barbie with our nearest and dearest or going to the pub to have some grub and grog and listen to a live band or just staying at home eating Vegemite on toast for brekkie sausage rolls and party pies for lunch Roast lamb for dinner and Lamingtons, Pavlova and Tim tams for dessert whilst wearing some form of clothing or shoes with the Australian flag on it listening to Aussie songs no matter what you do it’s a day of pride for our lucky country.
My Stepdad proudly became a Australian Citizen in November 2016 he is originally from London he fell in love with the place and my Ma lol.
