Fly The Flag with Australian Flag Temporary Tattoos
What would Australia day be, gentle readers without the sound of fat laden sausages hissing on a BBQ, JJJ blaring across the suburbs and legions of proud smooth-skinned young Australians wandering the streets resplendent in Australian flag temporary tattoos. It's become a bit of a national obsession and combines a few of our favourite things. First, wearing as little as possible in public, second having a party, and third, a celebration of our short yet bright history and an affirmation of all it is which makes this nation the greatest little landing strip this side of the equator.
What would this great sunburnt land be without the occasional outbreak of frivolity and fun? While the government is determined to ensure Australia day is a day of national mourning for the alleged imperfections of our ancestors and various commercial interests insist that it be another hot summer day on which we roast a piece of meat, the people of Australia have voted, and one of the items to receive a unanimous thumbs up are the tried and true Australian flag temporary tattoos, as it allows us to subtly show our pride in the great nation, against the wishes of the intellectual class and those determined to determine that people who earn money are less deserving of it than people who yell loudly for a free lunch. In all our times of observing the growing national interest in our day of celebration its clear that central to the celebration and excitement is the distribution of Aussie flag tattoos to theme the day's activities and to ensure patriotic Aussies are able to prove their fealty to the realm.
So next January 26th, when you look about to see what it is that makes this nation special, look not to Canberra, or to our military or indeed to any corner of the nation where a self professed expert explains to us what it is we should feel and believe. Instead look to your fellow citizens and observe the community of your fellow citizens. Beer in hand, sausages on the barbie expressing goodwill and fellowship to their neighbours and passersby. This is the success story of Australia and at its heart this laid back simplicity is exemplified by the annual consensus that we should wear Australian flag temporary tattoos with pride. |
