Last time it feel on a w/e I was overseas and missed it. Normally when it falls mid-week and its a day off work its a no brainer what will be happening......so my question is this year will Saturday be more like a normal Saturday or more like a traditional Aust. Day? Should I be booking myself some accom in Manly with a mate and heading down for a big day out or will it be a fizzer? If the surf is looking good it will be irrelevant anyway
Anyone got anything exciting planned?
Ted,
With 2 days off to recover, def head to The Wharf Bar for an Oz Day to remember.
Edit: Forgot about the crowds on Oz day. Stay up north Ted.
I am with LL if conditions are suitable - if not I could be chasing Scotty's idea........found this today - only have a sneak peek if you do not need till wait until the big day...Simondo may love how they did this I would think that the lower numbered songs would be very accurate off a sample size like this - so be warned before you click in - you have been warned!!!

Welcome to web's most accurate prediction of Australia's popular music countdown - Triple J's Hottest 100. By pulling in votes from every person who has shared their vote publicly, this is how we think it'll go down. By doing so we do not intend to spoil your Australia day, ruin your party or soil your wedding dress. It's simply an experiment in shared data, where we have tallied 35,081 votes from 3,602 entries (roughly 2.7% of the total vote) and would like to share that with you.
Off to Bridport with sups n kids to join the masses - should be a great day with heaps of water activities planned and lotsa family friendly stuff on offer - although the forecast isnt too flash.
Will be surfing somewhere local on the northern beaches, then heading in to the city to see a show Saturday night.
Sunday and Monday will be in the water in the am, then chilling round the house in the pm.
i read the news article on that mr kiwi.....but alas i could not look. would take the fun out off it for me(i was close to peeking)
food and fireworks on canton beach, you can watch it all from your front porch, after we surf the point, it will be cranking.
Aussie Day has become Gazza Day for us. 1 year ago on Aussie day the old boy passed away, needless to say we missed the 3 barbies we were invited to.
This year the whole family from near and far is gathering to remember the legend. 1 year anniversary. RIP to the bloke who gave so much to so many.
Have a great Gazza Day CMC.
What a day to celebrate his life on.
I lost mine in 98 and still miss the old bugger.
Thanks for sharing that CMC. I wish you well on the big day and every day - if I lost my mum it would make life very very tough. Hang in there and do the old boy proud!
Sharpie - we need the neighbour to cut down some of his tree so when we look east the fireworks are more dominant Maybe some fool will lose it on the roundabout and save us both the trouble!
I like the idea of a lamb on the spit at Chrispy's
^^^^^even better now. my micro brewery man is doing a keg of some **** he has been developing so let the games begin. lacey you will be stoked,just set up test match cricket. sprayed the glue,steamed the turf and layed it down. looks unreal
then i have designed a new frisby golf course down at the pond.
ted i will still not look at the results.....im suprised a media joint has not released them(without a warning) oh all welcome
cmc. i will let off the big mortar i have for gazza
A nice surf followed by a gym session so I can have a few beers and cook the BBQ for the family in the arvo with a swim in the pool,nothing flash just a nice relaxing day the Australian way
thanks for that TD - can not believe its been banned - now that it has more people will see it thanks to youtube etc It will become a social media marketing success story I reckon. He must be stoked - but I imagine he was sort of hoping for this outcome
Love the old girl that loves to eat dick
I see they are pushing to change the name to citizens day , to me that would be like changing the American day of independence so people aren't offended . Bit wrong IMO
had a great day Australia Day
great surf , too good put my back out, but got onto a couple of screamers beforehand
great weather , so nice even had a couple of white pointers on the beach , a rarity down here
and this young girl rocked up at our shack , poor little bugger appears to be an orphan from the bush fores
That is a ripper photo - how good is your job mate big one to you for sharing it mate bravo as chrispy would proudly say
PS hope she is recovering too mate
Sweet, good on you Tassie for taking in a family member in need
Watched some of them on TV the other night, they had some that we're hand raised and pretty tame but the wild ones were a whole different story...
