I should imagine that many of the early migrants had different sorts of hardships to in their home countries. I agree though about them paving the way for a wonderful country.

Australia Day became to mean more to me the longer I had been here. For a while I was still half pom and half Aussie. I feel all Aussie now

It has always fascinated me how people can move to another country and settle so well. I often wonder about the hardships that the earlier migrants battled with that made it easier for the migrants of today. They must have had difficult lives and been a special breed of people. They have helped shape Australia into the wonderful place it is today. Anne Maybus's last blog post..The New Australian Food.

Great blog. I think a real test for those of us who are migrants is how we respond to days like Australia Day - and it is an even tougher test if you were a Pom or a Kiwi. As someone who was born across the “dutch” I am happy to confess that 26 Jan is a very evocative day and I am very proud to call this place home. We live in an amazing part of the world and all my extensive travel over the last twenty years only confirms that fact.

Australia Day is very like the 4th of July in the US. Great weather, lots of family and friends and just hanging out. Hope it was good. I loved Loz’s post too. So many immigrants and all Aussies. Nice.

Thanks for the mention Sue. I wanted to say something profound for this one but didn’t come up with the right words. I think for me that ANZAC Day is the one with most significance because it has come to symbolise our coming of age as a nation. I don’t subscribe to the “Invasion” and/or “Sorry” day theory of the 26th of January though, because like it or not, we have created something pretty special here.
