August 14: Proud Aussie

I've travelled thousands of miles around America and seen as many flags flying outside homes and buildings, on street corners, rooftops, car aerials, baby prams, caps, and stuck on windows, books, menues, and billboards. Americans are so proud of their country and fly their flag to prove it.

It's a shame I don't see the Australian flag nearly so often when driving around the countryside here. But I was pleasantly surprised today to see one lone little flicker above the tree-tops in Bunbury. Go Aussie!

Today I am thankful for having been a part of the Sydney Olympics, where Aussie flags were as prevalent as stars in the sky.
