Australia Day

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains,
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror,
The wide brown land for me...Dorothea McKellar

Today we celebrate Australia Day...I shall throw some lamb chops on the barbeque and enjoy some lamingtons.  I truly am blessed to live in such an amazingly beautiful country.

    We are celebrating here with our Aussie colleague. We all gathered around her desk for the National Anthem and then sang Waltzing Matilda. She's having an indoor barbie tonight apparently!!
    Happy Australia Day to you (though by now, it's probably tomorrow!!)

    I love Australia...in HS my vision was to complete college then move there. Well of course life happened and now at 56 I've yet to visit. But I have a map for the next 10 yrs and God willing I'll visit our beautiful country.

    What are those lovely cakes??? Recipe or should I google Lamingtons?

    Grace, blessing and health, Deborah and the gang

    I had some childhood friends who moved to Australia years ago. They sent me beautiful pictures of it. You are lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

    Thanks for all the Australia Day wishes everyone...we ended up having family and friends over for a bbq with yummy lamb chops marinated in lemon juice and olive oil, accompanied by homemade coleslaw and Greek salad with quinoa - yummo - and too much wine, hee hee...oh, and Moondiva, so nice of you to pop in - I have to tell you, I cheated and bought my lamingtons, but they are fairly easy to make - just google the recipe because I haven't made them before x

    I come here via Victoria's blog. She featured some beautiful things you sent her. Wow! You are talented.
    I once had lamingtons in NZ. They are so luscious!
