Celebrating Australia Day by gilbertwood

Celebrating Australia Day

Today is declared Australia Day recognising when white settlers arrived here in 1788 to establish Australia as we know it today. However there is a lot of controversy over the inhumane treatment of the aboriginals who have lived on this land for hundreds of years prior to this settlement. I understand this predicament we are in. I can only add that I am pleased that my family members of 4 generations ago choose to move here and give us the opportunity to live in this great country we call Australia. Therefore I have chosen this photo of Australian lorikeets who have always been here for hundreds of years, under a little Australian umbrella to mark today.
Great colours.

Brilliant colours and capture Denise, our English generations have lots to answer for in the past four hundred years, all we can do is treat everyone equally with respect and dignity, Happy Australia Day:)

I love your Lorikeets, this is a wonderful photo. Thank you for your narrative, I was trying to see if I could compare Australia Day to any American holiday for a photo I could post. The only holiday that comes close is our Thanksgiving, that celebrates when our land was discovered and we shared a meal with the first inhabitants of America, the American Indians.

What a super shot!

This is a fabulous shot and very appropriate.
I feel thoroughly ashamed of all the things the British have done in the past and that includes the last 12 months. I guess we can't change the past and put right those wrongs so as individuals we just have to be the best we can be.
