Australia Day Celebrations

As Chai mentioned, yesterday was Australia Day where Australians celebrate becoming a country, like our 4th of July celebrations. The Aborigine population celebrates Survival Day, where they are immersed in their culture and do special ceremonies that they share with the public to educate us on what they do and share their history. I wanted to share a few additional pictures as we had the chance to make a last visit to Sydney Harbor to see the Harbor Bridge and Opera House, were at the Botanical Gardens for a ceremony in the morning, Victoria Park for Aboriginal programs in the afternoon, and a final event of fireworks at Darling Harbor in the evening. Enjoy the pictures!
