‘It’s the last public holiday before school returns so it’s perfect timing for one last family trip to the beach shack’ – Helen
‘Double time! Screw patriotism, I’d rather get paid. I’ll save my time off for next week.’ – Mark
‘Bring on the beach, the beer and the babes. Grab the stumps, tie on ya flag and party. This is our day for Aussie pride where we uphold our land and our rights.’ – Jonno
