I took Matthew down to the Australia Day breakfast this morning at Trinity Beach and he had a ball.

Although the day is a pretty dreary one, we managed to avoid the rain and had a great free breakfast put on by Rotary which consisted of sausage, egg, bacon and a slice of bread, which Matt promptly made a bacon and sausage sandwich out of.  Matt couldn’t understand why as the breakfast was free I emptied my wallet out of all the change that I had (around $4.00); I explained to him that the money goes to help fund other events, and although free, it was a good thing to donate some money for it and as it was Australia Day as part of being Australians is helping each other out.  He regularly asks for any change that I have to put into the Guide Dogs plastic Labradors in shopping centres, so this was understood.

All up Matt had a good morning and had a full stomach from breakfast, how did you spend Australia Day?  Did you have a ‘veg’ or attend any of the activities that were put on by the local or state Governments?

Even if you aren’t Australian, have a Happy Australia Day where ever you are!
