January 26. My brother-in-law emigrated to Australia from South Africa when he was a boy and little did he know that two things would make him a dinky-di Aussie. Firstly, his name was Joey (a baby Kangaroo) and he was born today, Australia Day.
While Australians Down Under spend today on the beach, at a music festival, watching sport or having a BBQ with friends, we at the Australian Wine Club worked hard and then ended the day with a meat pie and Champagne party!
Yes, we served white bread Vegemite sandwiches (amazingly most people liked it), the requisite sausage rolls and pasties and followed this gourmet fare with chips and chocolate.
It is not 40 degrees like it is back home and there was no public holiday but we brought some Aussie egalitarianism and fare to the Capital of Scandinavia!
Happy Birthday Joey and Happy Australia Day friends.
Cheers
Mark

Thanks for your comment, sadly I do not read either Norweigan or French. I would be glad to hear more in a language I understand (English or Swedish!).
