Good Morning,

Could you please tell me the significance of this Holiday celebration? Is it similiar to our fourth of July celebration with firewords and independence day?

Here in New Hampshire the temperature right now is zero and we have had a very cold January month. Most of our temperature has been below zero due to wind chill factor. Too cold to take my golden retriever on his daily walks.

We are the first state to vote in the primary democratic presidential race tomorrow. We have been receiving phone calls from all the candidates and campaign workers are out in full force knocking on doors. They now have CD's on the cadidates in addition to flyers. I will be glad when it is over.

Wishing all of you who live in Australia a good holiday!

Australia Day is the celebration of the day that Captain Arthur Phillip took formal possession of the colony of NSW and became its first Governor. It was originally called Foundation Day, but has been known as Australia Day since 1946.

It is a national public holiday.

Kylie
