jugglers & stilt walkers the Shriener's cars (little tiny cars with grown men driving them) & many many floats & of course the Horses & a bunch of other . Then we have an entire park with multi-cultural food booths & all day events & the beach & then we finish it off with huge fireworks! Ours are truly SPECTACULAR! We are a border city & because the American Holiday is sew close to ours we share our Fireworks with the folks right accross the river! Sew this means we have a HUGE BUDGET for these! Everything (except food) is all free to the public & even the bus runs free! If you search the crowds you will see alot of RED/WHITE! It's great fun for all!

We usually go to see the fireworks. My husband works long hours and because of my spine we tend to be low keyed. Back in out home state we often went to the parade but I cannot stand long enough to enjoy it now.

Morning Loralye, Australia Day is the 26th January. It's usually stinking hot and there are lots of parties all round the country. We usually celebrate it with a BBQ with the family and sometimes we go to a local park and have one there. There are always fireworks on the Sydney Harbour bridge and usually a celebration somewhere for new Australians to become naturalised. It's a great day of unity and fellowship. We have massive music concerts too!
"Australia Day, 26 January, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip, in 1788. At its core, Australia Day is a day driven by communities, and the celebrations held in each town, suburb or city – unified by the celebration of what’s great about Australia and being Australian – are the foundation of its ongoing success."
Love and blessings Chris
