Australia Day

It is Australia Day today.   A public holiday and celebrations everywhere.    And lots of barbeques, of course.   A day of National pride, for all the different cultures that make up the Australian population. 

At Point Lonsdale the weather was perfect, about 25 degrees.    Sunny, and with a lovely sea breeze blowing.       

The Point Lonsdale Bowling Club held an Australian Day Breakfast, which we attended together with Rudolf, Connie, Amanda and Macauley.      The breakfast included orange or sparkling wine or a combination of both (no alcohol for me - too early), sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs and tomatoes.    Plus loads of toast and vegemite.    It was very delicious and not at all greasy.    Conny was in charge of the scrambled eggs, perfectly cooked.    We had a lovely time as everyone was so friendly and made us feel very welcome. 

 Amanda and Macauley looking very happy.

 After the breakfast there was a friendly tournament, which Walter and Rudolf entered.   They did not win but had an enjoyable time.    Walter is wearing the grey trousers.

 The happy winners of the tournament.   I love the top hat.

And so ends a very happy Australia Day.
