So I see, thanks.

We still call it Foundation Day where I come from.

It's today!  Hooray for WA! 

I can understand if they want to make it the Monday for the blowins from whoop-woop but the actual date that the three ships arrived was June 1st. 

They were the flagship, The Parmelia, the military ship, The Sulphur, and the wood-duck pilgrims' ship, The Calista, and as many of my ancestors as Ernie Dingo's ancestors arrived in ships arrived on that ship. 

That is why us Sandgropers celebrate the sacred ground we walk upon today. 

Goodnight.

It was on SBS 'Who Do You Think You Are on Wednesday night'.  It is not quite a black and white issue, but it is good to know IMHO.  I like Ernie.  Total respect.

Maybe the Captain Cook. I used to actually know Ernie. He hung out in a pub in Townsville. I didn't know who he was for a while  because he didn't look like ernie dingo.

You need a new photo of Dubyne’s arse for your wall, Booby? Must have worn out the present one kissing it all the time!
