Sunshine coast, James Cook was a Leutenant when he charted the east coast in 1770. BTW, Arthur Phillip might have had some prior knowledge that Cook had did his bit at Botany Bay. That way he was safe in the knowledge that Admiralty didn't sent him to start a colony somewhere that was under French rule. That would have been interesting! BTW, I recognised Torby's tongue in his cheek! Capt. Carrales, I don't think we have a version of Uncle Sam here. Australia Day is a nice holiday at the end of the summer school holidays. In Sydney, there is some festivalon the harbour with ferries racing, and a usual fleet of tall masted ships heading up the harbour. Generally it's just another day to fire up the barbie. We don't get carried on about it too much. Buy it does fare better than poor old Proclamation Day, which commemorates our birth as a nation and the end of Colonial Rule. Most of us ignore it and call it 'New Years Day", and nurse a hangover. Anzac Day (25th April) is our unofficial national day - the day we take more seriously than others. That's the battle we commemorate.
