I always fail at trying to talk about Indigenous stuff cos it always turns nasty - still not sure why that is...............
Anyway my little family making plans to celebrate Survival Day - yeah yeah SURVIVAL DAY - we celebrate we survied & are here but more importantly culture has survived, besides best efforts to kill it and us off
Now before the usual lot carry on and all the same old "get over it" blah blah blah - I wonder if you would consider something? Just think about this for a minute then on u go with ur day 🙂
Just imagine that when the japanese were bombing Aust, just imagine if they took over Aust, say Feb 9th 1942. Just imagine that for a minute. Japanese ppl all moved into your houses, you could ONLY speak japanese etc ect, not even gonna talk about killing babies, taking women, stealing children - just imagine they took over. And you are NOT happy about it 😞
Would you celebrate Feb 9th? They tell you its the day the country was made great, the best day, the day you will celebrate EVERY year? Would you do it??
Hmmmm?
We do celebrate it, I choose not to call it Invasion Day, I choose to call it Survival Day and we will celebrate it.
We are back out bush until the 27th so HAPPY Jan 26th - whatever you wanna call it, stay safe everyone and I can come back in here tonight and when in town - haters gonna hate but it would be cool to have a conversation without the **bleep**??

Hello Lobs, so good to see you posting again. At least your friends will know that you are still around and well.
Thank you for the name Survival Day. I will give it to some of my grandchildren.
I wish you and yours a wonderful and happy time in the bush.
Erica ♥

Onya, Lobs.
One Australia Day I flew the aboriginal flag at my home, just as a reminder.
Because it was a surf frontage, everyone on the beach saw it all day.
It did make some people think. No adverese comments. Lots of smils and waving. So there are good people out there.
