Australian BBQ!

Head Down Under to Lynda R. Young's blog, W.I.P It, for a wonderful bbq weekend to celebrate Australia Day.  Just comment on her blog and become a follower to join the party and don't forget to bring a dish to pass.  It's a great way to meet new friends.  No other writing requirements, simply socialize with one another and check out others' blogs and follow them.

But what is Australia Day you ask?  I didn't know either so I found a cool link that gives an in depth history at  Australia Day.org.  Basically it is a celebration of the day in 1788 when the First Fleet of eleven ships arrived in Sydney Harbor from Britain.  

Hope to see you there!

Have a great weekend! :)

  1. They celebrate the American equivalent of the Jamestown settlement? That says a lot about Australia compared to the U.S.

    1. Since Jamestown wasn't too successful I'd compare it more to the Plymouth, Ma colony and our Thanksgiving.
