Last Weekend

...was a long one for us here too. 26th January is celebrated as Australia Day, hence a National holiday. This day is to commemorate the arrival of the 'first fleet' from England to Australia.

We went in the evening to attend the celebration near the 'Lake Burley Griffin'. There were some boat-races, surfing, rowing, some army-men landing on the lake...Here are some of the pics taken by a friend from his Nikon D50.

All this while music was going on. We sat just beside the lake on the lawn, munching on chips and sipping tea, enjoying the evening. The highlights were spectacular fire-works after dark. Some more pics...
