Clubber's Guide to Australia Day.

Considering this Australia Day was cruelly placed right in the middle of the week, no doubt it has caused a lot of sore heads. If you're of the clubbing genus, it's been a looong time since the 26th January was spent hanging out with the relo's, so let's have a look at how you probably spent it.
1. Off your face. It goes without saying that a day off is a waste if you're not wasted. On a hot day beer is usually the poison of choice, given its relative availability, value for money and propensity to make you really, really silly, but everyone has their favourite intoxicant and on public holidays these tend to flow very freely. Chances are if you're partial to social lubricants, you celebrated the coming of white people to Australia by being partially retarded all day.
2. At the BDO. This one's just for Sydney-siders and when we say "just" we mean just 80 000 of them. Considering the ratio of that number who are Poms, the square centimetres of sunburnt skin resulting from the BDO if laid end-to-end is probably long enough to stretch to the moon and back six times. Isn't that a lovely thought. Hopefully you wore sunscreen, or stayed in the air-conditioned comfort of the (somewhat ironically named) Boiler Room all day.
3. BBQ. It's an Aussie institution. Meat, open flame, buns, dead horse, onions, token salad and alcohol. If you didn't spend the previous night taking appetite suppressants, chances are you spent Australia Day in a park or backyard somewhere with a pound of flesh digesting in your stomach. Cricket was probably played, if someone brought a dog it probably ran around in the heat until it threw up and collapsed, a Frisbee may have been involved and there would have been a few chicks sitting on blankets and/or dancing around with a glass of sparkling white wine. A few people probably went home wearing someone else's black Havaianas. Australia might be wonderful, but it's also pretty predictable.
4. Recovering. If you got stuck into 1) on Tuesday night, you may have peaked too early and spent the day hiding inside with DVDs and a cold compress.
5. The Beach. There are two really dangerous things about swimming at the beach - rips and sunburn. Still, it would have been downright un-Australian to be deterred from swimming by the prospect of death or cancer, so lots of them would have been inundated despite the "BEACH CLOSED - DANGEROUS CURRENTS" signs.
6. A Sorry event. While most young people really are Sorry for practically everything only the hard-corest of activists would have made it to something political on Wednesday. But if you did - good show!
In the unlikely event that your Australia Day did not include any of the above, please try a bit harder to support your country next year.

fuck that, I got on a lylo (blow-up matress) and went white water rafting, kicked major ass, and my legs got burnt like a tomato. Total time - 1 hour 20 minute in the water, 40 minute for the walk back (ugh).
Got a good perve from the two hotties in the bikini too.
