My apologies, I don't know how to say "Happy Invasion Day" in Samoan yet. Still have much to learn.
Regardless, a few of us kicked off the celebrations on what is, technically, a day early. We took the afternoon off work to head home and listen to Triple J's Hottest 100 broadcast over the Internet. We had sausages and onions on pieces of bread with sauce, Caramello Koalas, etc., and generally had a good time. Not too sure I agree with Bernard Fanning earning the No. 1 spot though. Rubbish.
Still, a good time was had by all and the best bit is, tomorrow we get to celebrate it all over again. All the Australians the High Commission has been able to hunt down have been invited to an official reception tomorrow (Jan 26th) evening. A friend and I will also be throwing an Australia Day bbq at work tomorrow too.
Sometimes living in the last place on earth has its advantages. ;)

I know that your polished Balmain tastebuds aren't used to the uncouth delights of Ocker Australia, but "sausages and onions on pieces of bread with sauce" is called either a 'sausage sizzle' or, my preferred term, 'sauso sanga'.
And you call yourself Australian...pft!
