Aussies Never Give Up







Hi R
We did it!!!! Now you can watch my video on Queen's Birthday Fun and I can see yours re the Muggie. Of course there are numerous activities to attend on the day, including fireworks at night, but many like us simply enjoyed a family day at the park. C





Queen's Birthday
In all states and territories except Western Australia, Queen's Birthday is observed on the second Monday in June.
The day has been celebrated since 1788, when Governor Arthur Phillip declared a holiday to mark the birthday of King George III. Until 1936 it was held on the actual birthday of the Monarch, but after the death of King George V it was decided to keep the date at mid-year.

On that day the "Queen's Birthday honours list" is released naming new members of the Order of Australia and other Australian honours. This occurs on the date observed in the Eastern States, not the date observed in Western Australia.


Republicanism in Australia is a movement to change Australia's status as a constitutional monarchy to a republican form of government. Such sentiments have been expressed in Australia from before federation onward to the present, generally achieving little success or approval.
