Australia Day 2011

Born and bred Australians, Tourists and immigrants celebrate why it's great to be in Australia today and toast to the lucky country.

Today there is no better place than to be on the water in the Sydney harbour. Except... drum roll... in a helicopter above the ferrython race. The ferrython is a race between 4 of the ferries that usually help the rat-racers with their daily commute.
Yep, my credit card as now attained the critical mass state and is about to go into a complete melt-down, but I did get a private helicopter charter... on Australia day... above the Sydney harbour.
As you can see Kieran disapproves of this flight and can be heard over the mighty roar of the engine. Every boat in the New South Whales has got to be here.

Emma's pleasantly surprised when I tell her that the day isn't over as we hurry to one of the cruise ships to go on the harbour. It's really hot, but fortunately there's a cloud-cover. A very good day, indeed.
