Beautiful thank you 🙏
Why is it controversial? Happy Australia Day 🫂🤙🏻
Officially, it’s known as Australia Day. But some prefer to call it “Invasion Day”.
In recent years, some Indigenous people and their supporters have flown the Aboriginal flag at half-mast and worn black clothing on Australia Day to mourn their ancestors. Their actions reflect a call by many to change the date of Australia Day or abolish the celebrations.
Sadly we cannot change the past, but we can move forward together 🫂
I understand. Thank you. In some regard, that's similar to thoughts on Columbus Day / Indigenous People's Day here.
Exactly, I don’t like how we are divided here with this.
My family are immigrants to Oz, I was born in Europe and came here when I was 18 months old. My family has always celebrated this day as being grateful for allowing us to live here, for the opportunity and new life it gave us 💜
My understanding from 19th century novels was that Britain shipped prisoners off to Australia to get rid of them (or give them a second chance, depending on how you look at it) - so the early colonists were not exactly voluntary.
Yes but some of them didn’t treat the indigenous people with any respect and sadly made slaves out of them.
Be sure to celebrate the day and do you prefer Kangaroos or Koalas for the national symbol of Australia 🦘 🐨
Both would be great 🫂
Happy Australia Day 🫶
I'm happy you're here and you are who you are, shaped by the experiences Oz has given you 🫂
Awww thank you so much gorgeous appreciate you 🫂💜
Hey Marie! 🌈
So your country has a special day named after itself?
How humble! 🤣
Indeed very Royal of them 😂🦘
And where exactly is happening tomorrow? 😅🤔
Happening here right now!
It’s a holiday, Friday day off-well for most(my business still carries on)and everyone is out and about drinking and celebrating most Aussie things.
Like a bbq with lamb and drinking beer all day! Just typical Aussie stuff 😂🍻🇦🇺

I'd rather celebrate the rum rebellion...
