Australia Day

[JeffH]

That was a much nicer story Kel. All credit to you and your associates.

I wasn't very 'patriotic' on Australia day. Didn't have a barbie, didn't get drunk (but had a couple of beers and a Scotch in the evening), didn't wrap myself in a flag and didn't play backyard/street cricket.
I did spend some time booking airfares, accommodation, transfers etc. for a forthcoming trip to Fiji.

What a miserable bastard I am.

That is the wonderful thing about living in Australian Jeff, we can choose to do or not do as we please.! I am happy to be an "Aussie" every day of the year.!!  "Safe Travels".  :good: "Bula Bula".

Had lunch at the club went into the city rode on an old double decker bus around town,
Then we walked around the city Chinatown,Darling Harbour back to Parramatta Park for the concert and fireworks finale
The bus we rode on I'm sure it will bring back memories to the older members

There was a Bus Conductor who rode on all the D/Deckers,
would come around & collect fares & tear off a ticket that you had to hold onto until you "alighted" from the bus.
Because ticket inspectors would sometimes get on busses where you would have to show your ticket & he would punch a little hole in it, if you didn't have a ticket you were in trouble, unless you could prove that the bus conductor had not gotten to you yet.
aaah the good old days.

same with our trams , when they went off and buses took over then we had to drive and sell tickets too ,
worse thing happened to me was when I was doing a school run and had to carry 80 / 100 kids ,so we would tear off about 80 tickets and punch the hole in them all together to save time , got to the school one Friday and did that then found the kids had only did half a day and went home early at lunch time ..    ,, kel ,,
