Australia Day


Well us folks (International Drivers) decided to celebrate Australia Day even though we are in a foreign country on the other side of the world. So Tuesday was chosen where a few have the day off, and the rest start later on night shift. We celebrated by going to 'Saddleback Ranch' only 20 klms out of town; to go snowtubing. So the international bus drivers comprise of 6 Aussies, 2 Kiwis, and 1 Jamacian 'Yeah Mon'.


Well totally different to fireworks on the South Perth foreshore with a few ales, though good to have some fun in the snow. You get dragged up the hill via a lift, then sail down the hill on the right; flat out!! Here in some of the locals at the ranch, I decided to take off my red shirt after meeting these lovelly beasts. Hope Australia Day is awesome for all of you......
