Australian Invasion

I have been informed that it is National Flag Day in Australia. So Thought this is for all of my Australian friends here on 365. This is a picture from the Opening Ceremonies of the ITU World Triathlon. This is the Australian Team in the Parade of Nations. You can see the flag and I did love the inflatable yellow kangaroo that one of them was carrying as well

[Nancy]

The kangaroo is fun! Lovely tribute! They make a big part of 365 fun to see their world! Happy Day!

[Kerri]

Great capture

[Elizabeth]

This looks like a fun celebration!

[Cathie]

Fun shot, Brian.

[Brendan Maunder]

It is... I best get my flag out then... :)

[Harbie]

What a fun shot! I love the architecture in the background too!

[Darlene]

This is a great shot and what a nice thing to do in honor of National Flag Day in Australia.

[Gerry]

Great street scene

[Anita Campbell]

Very colorful and an interesting show of so many people participating in this triathlon. Love the feel on the street as an observer when the massive numbers of runners run by where you are standing. The streets actually vibrate! I can feel that vibration now.

[Maggiemae]

All these horrifyingly fit people! I wonder if the Aussies won!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture of the event. Was Malta represented - I didn't hear anything on the local news.
