Today is Australia Day, the National Day of Australia. It’s
a time for Australians to celebrate their national pride and culture; an
opportunity for the whole country to recognize and enjoy its accomplishments. Those
of us who are not Australians might observe the day by planning a holiday in
the Land Down Under. If money were no object, we might actually TAKE such a
trip. The rest of us can still take a virtual vacation by watching a movie (or
possibly two) set in Australia. Here are a few to consider: Mad Max, Crocodile
Dundee, The Matrix, The Dish, The Man from Snowy River, Quigley Down Under,
Finding Nemo, Rescuers Down Under, Babe, and (of course) Australia. If movies
aren’t your thing you might whip up a pavlova or a batch of Anzac biscuits, or
just cut into a nice, ripe mango. Either way, I hope you have a happy Australia
Day!
