Tonight I attended a reception and screening of the Russel Crowe movie "The Water Diviner" in downtown Toronto in celebration of the birthday of Australia. This while our daughter Hilary (and her colleague and friend Jess) are down under in Australia and celebrated that day in Melbourne.
Of course they had some fun materials about Australia at the event, such as road signs like this. From my stay of four months in Sydney in 1983 I remember laughing so much about the fun language the Aussies developed over time which had a lot to do with the aboriginal languages of Australia. At this event they had a small Aussie dictionary. Should send it to Hilary.....
Oops, I even printed it down under upside down....oh what the heck, I am going to leave it like this
