Australia: News and Views

Well I thought that  I would do a bit of research to report what was happening for Thanksgiving, assuming that ex-pat Americans in Australia would be celebrating Thanksgiving.  Although Thanksgiving isn’t a public holiday in Australia I thought there might be something going on in the larger cities.

Well maybe they are: but there is little to no mention of Thanksgiving in Australia at that I can find on the web? I checked the American Embassy in Canberra’ s site: no mention of Thanksgiving!

I checked Google: the font of all no knowledge: nothing terribly relevant though an interesting article from The Age arguing that Australians understand how to party and therefore the American ideal of the “pursuit of happiness” than the Americans - that could well be true but it didn’t answer my question!

So over to you guys what are Americans doing for Thanksgiving in Australia? The turkeys are all available in  the supermarkets: the weather is pretty nice: my guess is you are throwing a sickie and heading down the beach - am I right?
