Happy Australia day to allMy eye of Australia only see it as going down the drain, its a sad stateyou could buy 8 lollies for a penny, late night shopping is still thursday in Queensland, I think I've seen a good Australian TV show, not sure when, I did see the last Mad Max but someone said it was not made in Australia?My grandfather was given a gold watch for services in soccer back in the 50s but then Goulburn was a leading city then.Multicultural ??? was only Greeks & Italians now??? in years to come we will not have Australia day, just Multicultural dayI first seen Indigenous people when I was at a inter school sport event at 14 yrs, when I went to the territory we told not to run over Indigenous people, there we coon bars with cages to look them in so the police could drag them away.Anyway time to cook some snags and have a drink with my two "Australian" friends and remember what Australia was like when it was Green & Gold.
