Australia Day 09

On the 26^th of January 2009 some of the Churchill / Hazelwood Girl Guides made their way over to the Churchill Community Hall, to start the Australia Day ceremony.

This is one event that the Guides and Scouts share. The little kids get to give out flags and the Australian National Anthem (song) sheets.

We started the ceremony with the color party coming forward. The color party then had to raise the flag (Although they only had to do was pull a string to release the flag). Last year Jessica and I were in the color party. I had to raise the flag then too.

After the flag got put up we sang the Australian National Anthem.

This year I got out of colour party and instead I took some magnificent photos trying to keep in the shade. It was hot.
