We as a nation celebrate this day as the birth of this country Australia. We are a young country in relation to other parts of the world. But what is Australia Day? It is the coming together of different people from different parts of the world to create this amazing country. It is to celebrate differences and our uniqueness of all people, new and old.
I find that there is so much negativity reported in mainstream journalism and media. I would like it a little more balanced, for them to put more focus on the amazing generosity that so many people give and are not given the acknowledgement. To the carers and volunteers who are the unsung heroes, who do not complain, but give help to others. Today is a day to be with friends to enjoy stories, have fun, laughter, throw a sausage on the barbie, go to the beach, to watch ferry races on the harbour. It is also to reflect and say "thank you" for this wonderful country we are so lucky to live in. For the life style we have been so blessed to have and continue to have.
