For most Australian’s, Australia Day is a day when they celebrate being an Australian and living in this great nation.
We see the Australian flag big and small being flown from everything and anything, people dress up and buy things with Australian colours and some people even get a tattoo for the day.
For me, the 26th of January marks another memorable occasion. I arrived in Australia as a migrant, to become a permanent resident back on January 25th 2001.
Now even though it was on the 25th, Australia Day marks the anniversary that we moved from NZ.
Also, even though Jo & I spent a year in NZ, I still say we have come home to Australia, and this is home. So Australia Day 2010 marks 8 years of residency in Australia, and I look forward to many more.
