No surf for Australia Day but the onshore might kick up a wind wave for those who want to celebrate by bottom turn.
Regardless it is a nice Aussie day, clear sky and a bit of warmth. People might claim that we are an outback country but really we are coastal people. I went for a ride this morning and saw all the things that makes this a great place. There we families down the beach having breckie around the barbie, playing cricket, kicking the footy, playing touch rugby or just catching up.
There was a little micro groom being pushed in his first waves on a foamie. He actually cracked one from his Dad, did a bit of a fade and a mini-turn and into the arms of his Mum in the shallows. The whole family was stoked with his effort and it even gave me a little warm glow.
Stopped and watched a club cricketer caress and effortless drive for four at Recreation ground, talked to a clubbie and ended my ride passing a family of Asian decent joining in the Aussie spirit with a barbie by the beach.
We would have to be the luckiest people in the world and West Australians the luckiest of the luckiest. Long live Australia Day and to those "love it or leave it" yobbos, get your head out of you a-hole and join in with the real Australians, regardless of what they look like, wear or how long they have lived here (or you could go to the mid- west of USA and hang with real red necks)
