This is the equivalent of the USA Columbus day. Australia will be economic rock stars if/when it breaks free from the crown and truly celebrates an independence day.

Australia does its own thing mate....the " Crown" is just a token figurehead and has no detrimental effect on the economy......virtually every family in Britain has relatives in Oz.
Hope you had a great Birthday down under.
