Australia Day was January 26. It is the equivilent of July 4. Here in Yeppoon, there was "The Great Australia Day Beach Party." Which included craft vendors, food vendors, kid's games and rides stage entertainment including magicians, clowns, puppets, bands, fashion show, and a sand castle competition. Danny and I were there from about noon to 8 pm. It was capped off by fireworks at the end of the night, fired from a boat just off the beach. From the food vendors, there was donuts, hamburgers, steak sandwiches, thai food, and ice cream. The craft markets were a lot like what you would see in the states, with jewlry, toys, and other hand crafted stuff. There was a lot of people there! One of the coolest things they did was have airplanes fly over the beach and drop tons of candy for the kids, you should have seen them running after it!
