Tomorrow is Australia Day,
www.australiaday.gov.au/pages/page3.asp

My Loopy best friend since high school is coming up to stay for the long weekend...
She has declared that we WILL have a BBQ and beer with all the trashy $2 trimmings.
She was also horrified that we didnt have a flag pole...yet I do have a flag...

Soo......
Being the good Scout Leader that I am, and my girls being the good scouts that they were... se to and decided we WILL erect a flag pole... bush style...

The girls went down to the river looking for a suitable log... they decided the BIGGEST LONGEST one they could carry would be most appropriate...

They set to work digging a hole in the hardened clay...
And with a little help from Mum... they had in an hour erected their mighty 8 metre Flag Pole...

Flag Raising will be in the morning...

Happy Australia Day All !!
