    Happy Birthday Australia - although we may want to add somewhere between 40,000 & 125,000 to that 221 years ....

    and someone completely forgot the dutch explorers who landed at various locations in australia in the century before the poms outran the frogs to sydney.

    Also, Kong He Fah Choi (or whatever spelling others want to use).

    just because the dutch found this land doesn't mean it was theirs

    Should have left a flag instead of a plate on plank of wood

    Then again WA could have been settled by the French and you all would be cheese eating surrender monkeys

    Got a shock when I saw 221.... was but a lass for the Bicentennary, back when Tall Ships were all the rage.

    Here's to the Australia and the convicts, most of what I love about us started with them. Happy OZ day.
