We had a little stay in New Zealand when I was younger due to dad's work on the oil rigs that's the only time I've been offshore. I was born in Queensland too and while I like the other states, Queensland is home. Despite the heat it's a good place I think.<br />-Shiralee.A Peaceful Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540234258195815071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-50658622508144789762015-01-25T18:24:14.051+10:002015-01-25T18:24:14.051+10:00Beautiful photos Chel.

I hung blue,red and white balloons in groups to the poles outside and an Australia Day poster to the door (closed for air con). Then i put some bunting with flags around the windows and a big flag on the front cabinet. I was there for the day so got to see the impact it had on customers. So rewarding. Everyone was positive and was talking about how great Australia is and how lucky we are. Im hoping the bunting stays and ive made a sign for the front window advertising the new business owners. On the bottom of it is a Map saying "proudly Australian". I was actually accused of being racists by a friend. How can i be racists saying im proudly Australian in Australia? Multiculturalism has given us so much but we shouldnt lose our identity just so we dont offend anyone.
