Australia Day 2008 ~ Los Angeles / Orange County




Someone once said to me, "I've heard those Aussies sure know how to party". And after today, I think we've proved it. Isabel and David threw an Australia Day bash to remember at their beautiful home and sprawling grounds located in the OC. They had everything a misplaced aussie could desire. A campfire, surrounded by Aussies. A spread of Aussie foods, surrounded by Aussies. And an aussie quiz which the brits won! Sound familiar. Yeah, I think we lost on not knowing the 2nd verse of the bloody national anthem. I also think we'd fail the citizenship test too.








Moving on... We lounged about, outside by the fire, inside in the kitchen, lounge, etc etc and there were some of us who rock and rolled - David on the drums and a smattering of aussies on other instruments. Did they play Waltzing Matilda? Or rock the National Anthem to a Jimmy Barnes Song?








I cant tell you. You'll have to come along next year to find out for yourself.
