Australia Day 2013

The best Australia Day ever! Lots of people said so. Two hundred volunteers, a big crowd, from all over the planet, a trusting, positive, friendly atmosphere, absolutely no rubbish at all, smiles everywhere and a fabulous fireworks finale. I really like the way that it has become better every year, partly due to the power of volunteers. Thank you to everyone who was there. You make a difference!
The pictures tell the story. For a whole album of 118 photos you can find it on Facebook (just click and scroll) or click here for a web gallery (zoom for bigger display). Feel free to 'Tag' yourself and your friends and click on Share or Like. There are quite a lot of other photos that I didn't upload, available free to your group.
For me Australia Day in South Perth was inspirational. My volunteering task was great fun. I walked the entire shore length many times, welcoming residents and visitors, handing out event guides. That’s been my role every year. I love a chat and look forward to it.
I hope you had a fabulous day too. How was it? How are we ever going to improve on this? Comments?
