Australia Day

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! So happy to be here on Australia Day. We started the day with a beach breakfast party and met so many friendly people. Then we trained into the city to see the drone and fireworks show. There were food trucks, vendors, and Aboriginal performers on a large stage. We had front row seats right on the edge of the water! And check out the police horses with flashing red and blue tails!

There is a bit of controversy surrounding Australia Day. Aboriginals have negative feelings about celebrating the day the English arrived on their land, similar to how Native Americans feeling about celebrating Columbus Day.
