Aussie Day
Happy Australia Day 2008.
Here is a truly great piece of Australiana, and perhaps the campest event to ever grace the world stage. Just watching it again it's hard to believe it ever happened.

A Red, Red Rose
- O my luve is like a red, red rose
- That's newly sprung in June;
- O my luve's like the melodie
- That's sweetly played in tune.
- As fair art thou, my bonny lass,
- So deep in luve am I;
- And I will luve thee still, my dear,
- Till a' the seas gang dry.
- Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
- And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
- I will luve thee still, my dear,
- While the sands o' life shall run.
- And fare thee weel, my only love,
- And fare thee weel, awhile!
- And I will come again, my love
- Though it were ten thousand mile.
