We had a blast celebrating our first "Straya" Day on Saturday. January 26th is the official national day of Australia commemorating the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in NSW in 1788. At that time, Britain claimed sovereignty of the eastern seaboard of the country.
 |
| Starting out the day from our home in Hawthorn |
 |
| We were invited to a local Aussie BBQ to celebrate and to countdown Triple J's hottest 100 hits of the year. The theme was thrift shop chic in honor of the number one song - Thrift shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. |
 |
| Nothing says Aussie like a good 'ol tattoo |
 |
| Americans embracing our inner Aussie - Aussie, Aussie, Aussie - oi, oi oi! |
 |
| Giant Jenga - the colors of green and gold for the national emblem - the golden wattle tree |
 |
| Lots of laughs with this bunch |
 |
| How can you make Australia Day even better? Just add a little Killers and Red Hot Chili Peppers to the mix! Take me to the place I love... |
 |
| These 2 bro bros can't wait for Big Day Out! |
 |
| Location - Flemington Racecourse where the Melbourne Cup horse race happens each November. |
 |
| Aussie pride |
 |
| The Killers rocked it |
 |
| Standing in line, to see the show tonight... |
 |
| Red Hot Chili Peppers take the stage... |
 |
| Our music trifecta is complete - Black Keys, Mumford, and Red Hot Chili Peppers - scratch a music festival off the bucket list mates. Feeling very proud to be in this great country for almost 9 months and blessed for all the wonderful people we've met along the way. |
