Oi Oi Oi!

Happy Australia Day Mate!

January 26th to be exact.  It was the date of the first fleet arrival in Sydney. 

So what do we do?  Celebrate!  Phil and I know how to do that!  We headed into the city to spend the night at Darling Harbour.

and guess what's at Darling Harbour!?

 HURRICANES!  

mmmm.  I think I'm in heaven.  Meat on the bone is not my type of thing, but for ribs...

...well I make an exception.

These beasts are to die for.

I'm not kidding when I say that these ribs are the best thing ever.  End of conversation!
Definitely a special treat for a special day.

That's right, they're finger LICKIN' good.

Darling Harbour put on a whole Australia day fling, full of boats through the harbour, the premier and mayor coming around and a whole lotta music.

We got the best spot.  Didn't even mean to.  After we plopped down with our ribs, we just enjoyed the view til the fireworks came.

We sang the national anthem to start of the show.

(guess who didn't even need the words? ME!  Phil was proud)

They co-ordinated sail boats with the music and fireworks.  It was so amazing.

And then came the fireworks.  Honestly, best fireworks I have seen. Ever. 

(wow, everything is the best today isn't it?)

Don't worry, the lack of photos of the fireworks was not because we missed them again, (darn New Years!) just cuz we were too busy watching them.  Who needs photos of fireworks anyway?

Psh...

That night, I was proud to be Australian...via marriage. :)
