Hello boring people- boring is good if it means all are having a reasonable time. Boxing day here, proclamation day tomorry. A S/Aus holiday to mark the founding of the new colony at Glenelg. S/Aus prides itself on being the only colony not based on convict labour- although I would argue against that bit. Certainly lots of weird history- Robe- a coastal town was used by Chinese people to get around stop the Chinese laws in gold rush times. They would walk hundreds of miles in sun blasted mallee country- many did not survive. Lots of convicts there too. All sorts of weird stuff. Then again most history is.
