You would think that Australia Day, whilst on a journey around Australia, would be a big deal. In fact, it kind of just crept up on us. But I guess, that's what happens when you're living surrounded by Italians, Irish, Pommies, Kiwis, Astonians, Germans and Tasmanians. Although, the anticipation for the day wasn't huge, the day itself was a cracker.
A group of us from the farm / camp ground spent the best part of the morning down at a swimming hole on Margaret River escaping the 40 degree heat. We lounged in the shade and those slightly more daring folk jumped into the river from a big overhanging tree.
The afternoon was spent back at the farm playing cricket, consuming the spread put on by the owners and as usual making new friends. The cricket game was great fun although the game had to be paused a few times to explain exactly what the game was to some of the backpackers. Here are a couple of shots of the arvo. I hope everyone who celebrated Australia day had as much fun as we did.
