Aussie Aussie Aussie!

The Australia Day Long Weekend. It didn't quite happen (thanks to the holiday bizarrely falling on the actual day this year rather than a Monday) but thanks to the power of being my own boss, Glam Adelaide and Glam Digital closed on Friday as well, giving us four days of R&R. So what better way to relax than jam packing as many events as possible into the four days.

Thursday we had a Triple J Hottest 100 Party (what's more Aussie than that!) followed by the free Australia Day concert in Elder Park. With record crowds and a great vibe, I'm happy to say that the Adelaide City Council is really coming in to its own when it comes to putting on fantastic events for the community.

We were lucky enough to have media passes into the Lyrics Lounge at the Festival Theatre, so we were able to watch the concert from a great vantage point.

Adam Gilchrist, Francis Wong, Mayor Stephen Yarwood, Rikki-Lee, Stan Walker, Cat Southern, Houssam Abiad and a host of Adelaide faces attended the event and got in to the spirit, although I think I was the only one wearing the Australian flag (on my t-shirt).

The best part of the day though? Being able to spend it with my friends and family. Ivy even got into the swing of things and had a chew on the Aussie flag which was draped over her pram.

The fireworks show at the end of the night was spectacular. Not the short show I expected - rather a full blown major event style display. Everyone loved it, and I'm pretty sure the guests at the InterContinental Adelaide would have had the best view!

If you get the chance next year, definitely check out the concert & festivities in Elder Park.

What a great city and country we live in. I'm proud to call myself Australian.
