If I had a week off (and it wasn't peak holiday time) - I'd probably be down in Byron Bay, either learning to surf or scuba!

But, knowing me, I'd be more than likely at home, bludging...

I really wanna go up to Byron for the Blues and Roots festival this Easter - they have a wonderful list of bands and artists performing - but I won't be able to afford it. I'd probably go on a driving trip for my Australia week and see the sights of our beautiful country!

I KNOW!

I saw the list of bands on Friday - R.E.M, Missy Higgins, John Butler Trio, Cat Empire, George Clinton, Sarah McLachlan, Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band, Violent Femmes, The Whitlams, Michael Franti - just to mention a few of my faves!

I SO WANNA GO - but it's gonna cost $315 for the 5 days (without accomodation!) - I considered going for one of the 3 day tix ($240), but I realised that no matter the combination of days they had on the 3 day lists, I wouldn't get to see all my 'must-see' bands...

Would be a good bday present (B's going to see REM the day after the concert - which is my birthday), but I refuse to go by myself, and it'd be far too out of the price range for both of us to go, and get accom as well...

We celebrate it here for a month elmo!!



"Australian National Anthem"

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
​
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,

An absolute legend in my books...

My interest in research and nursing would be burns surgery, and improved technique in burn wound care, so her getting this award was fantastic...

An inspiration to working mums everywhere!

It was good to see someone who does a lot of good for the community, but does not have the fame, get something like this for once!
