No, no Cook sighted East Coast in April 1770. I'm a lot older than 230
Another change of plan, speaking of age. I decided my middle son needed to see his friends. So, I'm taking him and as many local 16 year olds that can fit in my car, to an event called Youthquake,a skate/BMX comp,followed by a Battle of the Bands. All the local heavy young rockers.Actually a few out of town bands are there, so it should be interesting. I'll be one of the oldest there for sure, that's cool.
School of arts stuff going on at the river bank, followed by fireworks. I'll probably wander down there for a while. Choices choices.
One thing, just wanted to say, we are very lucky to be Australian.
Jan27: glad I did wander down to the river.Spent most of the night there as it turned out. What a diverse range of music, poetry and dance. Saw 4 people become naturalised Australians too(one a young, formerly Irish lad, bet he's a jockey
)I was moved by the humble effort of the people that received community citizenship awards. The Dean, Reverend Catt(love his groovy name, almost as good as Bishop Huggins)said a very moving prayer about our land Australia. Great day indeed.
