Happy Australia Day to all our subscribers, forum members and fellow bloggers.

Please find below a sample of photos from our forum members who were asked to submit their favourite Aussie photos.

Jen submitted this photo, saying: It shows what Australia means to me because many Australians enjoy swimming. It’s the time of year when it’s usually hot and the pool or the beach is a great spot to hang out and have fun.

Colin submitted this photo saying: This is from my phone, but it does highlight the Aussies love of cricket, being in the sun, getting decked out in Aussie flags, supporting the Aussies, playing with beach balls, drinking beer……

    Stunning photos.

    We will be celebrating Australia Day with a family BBQ. On Monday. The public holiday. Cause THAT is what Australia is all about! he he he

    Today I will be hitting the shops with my daughters for a girls day out (2 hours away from home) shopping for back to school paraphernalia.

    But my new phone is green and I am wearing gold shoes. That counts doesn’t it?

    Happy Australia Day everyone!

    lol I was just thinking about how beachy all those photos were (well, not all, but a fair few) and then I realised that I am travelling from here (Paradise, right next to the beach) to the Sunshine Coast for my Australia Day weekend, so I will just shut up now!

    All very beautiful photos, by the way.

    Great photos! We’ll be having our own little quiet Australia Day celebration here in Mexico. I found lamb in the supermarket (woohoo!) so its a lamb roast for us.

    Happy Australia Day to everyone back home!

    I am dusting and polishing and tidying up for my wife’s Nutrimetics Party (and working off a hangover after two days of over indulgence at the cricket test). Later on I will be ala Chipendales serving afternoon tea to 10 ladies. At least she is serving champagne. Have a lovely day everyone.

    This post inspired me to dig out an old photo of one of those special Australian places, scan it and post about it on my blog. If I’d not been so slack the last few days I should have submitted it for this post. my bad!
