Australia Day

So how did everyones day off go? What did everyone get up to to celebrate our awesome country? I took Sam K's advice and threw some lamb chops on the barbie, invited my mates over and cracked a few cold ones. Oh, and sweated profusely

i dont even remember, coz i think at the roundabout, we were meant to turn left followin signs to Toukley. but we went straight, then we tried to find u guys but got more lost!

After a few u-turns, PONY took the lead and we were back on track! We made it to Norah head but got lost there too! so we went back out to roundabout and headed towards Bugewoi!!!! and then realized we were in wrong direction and headed back and finally found everyone else!!
