Today is Australia Day, the 220th anniversary of the landing of Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of eleven convict ships from Great Britain and the first governor of New South Wales, at Sydney Cove. Like many Australians, I hit the beach for a while:
Copacabana Beach, New South Wales, 26 January 2008
Eagle-eyed readers may remark that the designers of our new surf life saving club building also seem to be attracted to a little chocolate and pistachio:
Copacabana Surf Life Saving Club
PS: The humour and allusions in Sam Keckovich’s Eat Lamb during “Australian Week ‘08″ advertising campaign may elude some readers/viewers but I do have some lamb to put on the barbecue tonight.
