On the 26th of January we will celebrate the "Australia Day" and I am really looking forward to it cause we will have a day off and a spectacular fireworks show is going to be organized on the Swan River. However I thought it was a kind of "Independence Day", but I was very astonished when I read this from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Day It seems that Australians celebrate the first invasion of this country on that day! I am not surprised if "....Some Indigenous Australians see Australia Day as a celebration of the destruction of Indigenous culture by British colonialism...." (wikipedia).

I went on site last week in the North of this country. I was expecting a "warm" temperature but 48 degrees are bloody hot ! Nice experience even thought the heat, the environment is completely different from Europe, it looked like to stay in Mars :) I manage to see a baby kangaroo during my trip and it was the first one I ever seen in my life ! Unfortunately I could not take any picture cause it was in the night and the animal jumped away very quickly :)

It was awesome to spend the New Year Day on the beach. It was the first time in my life. But the most important thing was that Criz was with me! She came over last Sunday.
