Australia Day

Even Woolworths celebrates Australia Day.

[Jase]

Ha, Woolworths here went bust a few years ago.

[Kathy A]

@jase_h you don't need Woolworths when you have the likes of Tesco.

[joey d.Muli]

Happy Australia Day !!----i love the flag---and the sausages -:)

[Jase]

Don't get me started, on every other street it sometimes seems.

@kjarn

[Julia Metcalfe]

Not sure that 'celebrates' describes what Woolies actually does!

[Kathy A]

@jools well they were BBQing for the community.

[Julia Metcalfe]

@kjarn - that's good. Did they charge for the sangers?

[Kathy A]

@jools yep to raise money for the Chidrens Hospital.

[Julia Metcalfe]

@kjarn - and make a profit on the snags!

[Kathy A]

@jools how do you make a profit when the money is being donated?

[Julia Metcalfe]

@kjarn - the same way Maccas makes a motza on McHappy Day.

[Kathy A]

@jools I don't get it.

[Nada A.]

No more Woolworth's here.

[Julia Metcalfe]

@kjarn - well, cynic that I am, I think that they would find creative ways to inflate their costs so that not *all* the profits are going to charity. McDonalds methods are different, so probably not relevant.

[Kathy A]

@jools it wasn't profits going to charity, it was all money raised and they were charging a donation.

[Julia Metcalfe]

@kjarn - OK. I stand corrected and I'm glad they're giving something back to the community. (McHappy Day still sucks, though!)

[Amanda R.]

Hope you had a great Australia Day! Those watermelons look really good in the back.

[Kathy A]

@emrob I went to the movies and out to dinner with my son so it was nice thank you

[T.J. =)]

Great shot! I haven't seen a Woolworth's in about 25 years.

[Sue Wilde]

Cool capture. I must say it's a bit oddd seeing the flag draped above the vegies though

[Kathy A]

@swilde it was a bit odd but it was the closest I came to anything typically Australian.

[MrsVanPatten]

Love it.

[Netkonnexion]

Nice capture.

[GiGi]

How colourful is that, and what a massive snag

[Constance Brinkley]

How wonderful they are having a BBQ for the community. Made me smile. Have a great Australian Day!

[The Blue Gnu]

Our Woolworths is quite upmarket - especially their food section. Nice seeing what the other side of the world WW brings.

[Abhijit]

nice advertising shot.

Happy belated Australia Day! I remember Woolworth's from when I was a kid, but we haven't had one here in a loooong time:) We used to have $1.49 day at Woolworths and it was always packed:)

[Humphrey Hippo]

I remember going to a Woolworths down under and discovering it was a totally different kind of store. :)
