Hi Folks and a "HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY" to everyone..
  being held on the 26th of January  finds this day amongst the hottest times of summer  and today is no exception as I write this the Temperatre here where I am is 41 degrees  C.. bloody hot. 
 Due to the Corona Virus most events that are usaually celebrated today and that is many   in the Cities the  suburbs and the country .. Countrywide is a public holiday for this special day.

   I watched this morning a small part of what is a massive ceremony  welcoming of  many New Australians receiving their Australian citizenship certificates with people coming from allover the world to choose Australia as their new home and be a part of this country and enjoy what it is like to live in such a free and safe   environment. This New Year of 2021 we all hope will be so much better than what Aussies have had to experience this last 12 months starting with one of the worst droughts that the farmers have had to cope with for many years. The drouht was longlasting and had devisitating effects on all country folk and theie livestock.!





.  Then came the biggest bushfires in our history that were  so catastrophic that the land will take a long time to rejuvinate from the Carnage and loss  for residents ,,farners and their cattle and sheep to also the astronomical loss to wildlife .

Today as we go forward ..and directly after  the fires  along came The Virus !!The country  like  many other countries in the rest of the world  was caught ill prepared .. Australia , now , is coping with this devistating virus very well !..and after all borders state and 


 International were closed everyone tried to get used to the new ways of living !!  Well here we are now once again in January with a much better outlook into this New Year ..Take care wherever you are  stay safe..ad look after your mates !
