    Happy Australia Day to all the Australians out there! What's everyone doing to celebrate this year? Anyone doing something special for the long weekend? Myself, today I've been watching the Australia vs India cricket with the family, and on Monday we're having a huge get together for a BBQ lunch and dinner!
    The Australian of the Year this year is Lee Kernaghan, a country singer, the Young Australian of the Year is Casey Stoner, a motorbike racer, and the Senior Australian of the Year is David Bussau, finance entrepreneur.
    How many Australians are out there and what are you all doing to celebrate?
    Also, to those who aren't Australian, how does the Australia culture compare to where you come from?

    EDIT: Added some classic Aussie songs. Just for some laughs. Feel free to add more songs, videos, jokes, stories, myths, etc, that you believe to be Australian classics.
