Stupid me managed to get the time all wrong, turns out the bus doesn’t leave for two hours… So I figured I’d tell you a little about this amazing country I’m in!
First of all, let me show you their flag (let's just pretend you've never seen it before and really care about it's hidden meanings...):
Pretty cool, huh?
Each of the colours in Australia’s flag symbolizes different characteristics and values of the people.
The blue symbolizes truth, loyalty, perseverance, justice and vigilance. White is a symbol for peace and honesty, while the red represents bravery, strength, hardiness and spirit.
The star on the right refers to Australia’s position in the southern hemisphere. The bigger star underneath the flag of the United Kingdom is the star of the Commonwealth of Nations and it’s there simply because Australia is a part of the Commonwealth of Nations. The official name of Australia is even the Commonwealth of Australia.
The country is a former colony of the United Kingdom, which is symbolized through their flag in the top left corner. Since they were under the United Kingdom’s control at the time they were obligated to include it. It’s an ongoing debate in Australia regarding removal of the Union Jack, but so far nothing has been changed.
Over to something far more exiting, I might get to see Jesse Spencer when I get to Sydney!
Just look at the guy...
He is performing with Band from TV on Saturday! He is such a good actor (he plays a doctor on House which is one of my favourite TV series). I’d probably go to his concert even if he sucked to be honest. Hugh Laurie might be a contributing fact to that as he is also in Band from TV…
That's all for now!
