For those of you not "down-under", it's Australia Day today, which commemorates the arrival of the first British fleet at Sydney Cove in the late 1700s. To most people the real significance is a day off work, sunshine, boats on the harbour, barbeques and picnics with friends, temporary tattoos of the Australian flag and loads of other icons absolutely everywhere.
I feel like we've already had our annual blast of icons with Oprah's visit. Tourism Australia went nuts. She held koalas, roamed around the outback and every inch of every place she visited was covered in cultural icons: kangaroos, Sydney Opera House and harbour, Uluru, didgeridoos, funny hats with cork and, of course, thongs.
Today I'm sharing the iconic experience and going with thongs (also known as jandles). It seems like the right thing to do.
Happy Australia Day x
