Okay so it is ages since we celebrated Australia Day but I only just stumbled on the photos that I took of the celebrations we enjoyed in the Community Centre. We played games, sang Australian Songs, answered trivia questions and we had a sausage sizzle for lunch.
Ian, the Residents Committee Chairperson, opens the proceedings.
For my overseas visitors I need to tell you what this is called in Australia. It is a"thong". We played a game called "Throwing the Thong". If you get it in the bucket you win a prize.
My neighbour Sue is having a go.
Some energetic ones played Tunnel Ball. Unfortunately I can't anymore due to back problems.
We played pin the tail on the kangaroo, which was painted by one of our talented ladies, Lynne.
The village singers led us in a variety of Australian songs.
Then we enjoyed barbecued sausages with onion and cheese, cooked by the Workshop guys. We sure did have a happy Australia Day
