Happy Australia Day, Possums!

Happy Australia Day, you little darlings!


To celebrate this gorgeous day, we're bringing you an Edna-rama assembly of antipodean antics and megastar magic!

First off, a link to the Australia Day Keynote Address given by Sir Michael Parkinson. Of course, little Michael couldn't talk about Australia without referencing the country's greatest gift to the world - Dame Edna Everage! He noted:


“Dame Edna Everage once said -
and we must never tire of quoting the classics -
that Australians are good at sport because of
'the sun, the diet, the healthy outdoor life
and the total lack of intellectual stimulation'."

What a gorgeous sentiment! Call me old-fashioned, but it is! To see the whole article, click here:
