Hi! Holger,

On Sun, 27 Jan 13, you wrote to me:

Unfortunately the current day celebrates the English invasion.  A lot of
people want to have it changed to some other date but so far there has not
been an urgent 'push' for a change.  Once we evolve to the republic that a
great majority of Aussies want, then the choice is simple: the Queen's
birthday that we currently also celebrate (not really; it's just a
holiday).

 HG> Have a nice Australia day,

Thank you.  It's drying out here, although the eastern bank of our river is
just 100 metres away, slowly creeping up the street.  I may have to move my
Fido PC upstairs, soon.

Cheers,
Paul.
