Australia Day

Saturday, January 26th was Australia Day, commemorating the arrival of the first fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788. Not surprisingly, the aboriginal people often refer to this holiday as "Invasion Day." Most Aussie holidays involve the beach or bbq but this year was a bit different due to a tropical storm that created heavy flooding in parts of Queensland. We spent Australia Day weekend on Moreton Island with our friends Hef, Gemma, and Brad. What better way to experience a tropical storm than on a sand island? There are a few new photos in the photo gallery.
