Let's Celebrate Australia Day!

Image

Image

If someone cuts down a tree for their view in Australia, government installs a sign to block the view --
Image

[That's actually a damn good idea --
defeating the benefit of illegal acts
removes the incentive to do them.]

Image

And now, as a public service, here is
an instructional video on
"How To Eat An Australian Meat Pie" --


Love you Aussies!
Seriously!
Enjoy your National Day!

It's Australia Day Down Under

Image

I've never been to Australia,
but I'd love to go some day!

Greetings from Canada!
Enjoy your National Day today,
our Commonwealth Cousins!

Happy Australia Day!

Image

Sparing no expense, today this blog is celebrating the National Day of Australia!

This year, there's even more reason to celebrate because Australia has just recently recognized the right to same-sex marriage -- yay!

Image

One insufficiently appreciated fact about Australia is that it is a world leader in engine, vehicle and fuel technology --

Image

Image

Image

Of course, we all know about the weird and wonderful animals that are found only Down Under!

Image

How did they get there?

Image

There's the platypus, of course. It's a little-known fact that Canada's national symbol had a hand (or some other body part) in its creation. You're welcome, our Commonwealth cousins!

Image

And Australia is just full of crocs, we all know that!

Image

Kangaroos are, of course, everywhere too!

Image

They cause mayhem on the roads. Kind of like moose in Canada.

Image

And who doesn't love those cute 'n adorable koala bears?

Image

Uh-oh, another misconception shattered?

Image

Oh no, could koalas be co-opted for the purpose of evil?

Image

Luckily, getting koalas to actually do anything might be a bit of a problem. Duuuuuude!

Image

Perpetually smashed? Let's all move to Australia and join them!

Happy Australia Day!

On Australia's National Day, I just want to take a quick moment to salute our Commonwealth cousins who live Down Under. So, up here in the Great White North, what do we REALLY know about Australia?

First of all, they talk funnier than us Canuckians, EH?

Image

And EVERYTHING in their part of the world is dangerous and deadly.

Image

But Australians always keep their, shall we say, WHIMSICAL sense of humour --

Image

So now, what are the three main things that immediately leap to mind about Australia? Yes, you're right --

CROCS!

Image

KANGAROOS!

Image

Image

Image

AND KOALA BEARS!

But seriously, Australia is SO much more than our tired stereotypes about it! I sincerely hope to visit Australia one day and see this magnificent country for myself. Until then . . .

GOOD EYE MIGHT!

Please note that I avoided the use of clichéd gags using upside-down photos. You're welcome.
