Australia Day is the one day of the year when:

Thongs are the official dress code

The barbecue gets more attention than your family

Everyone suddenly remembers the words to the national anthem … at least the first verse

It’s socially acceptable to drink before the sun is over the yardarm

If the sausages fall through the barbecue grill, that’s not a mistake — that’s just tradition.

Only in Australia do we celebrate a national holiday by standing around the barbecue in 40-degree heat complaining how hot it is
Where “Yeah nah” means no
Where “Nah yeah” means yes

And everyone understands exactly what both mean.

Happy Australia Day!
