Robbo On: AUSTRALIA DAY.

[Bernard de Silva]

Robbo On:  AUSTRALIA DAY.

“Australia Day,” remarked Robbo, “What, should we most save?”
“The worthiness of “mateship” or spirit, pioneering people gave?”
“The virtue, of a man’s handshake, his word, an unwritten bond?”
“A respect, due to women and elders, of which real men are fond?”

“Or the legacy of “The Australian Way”, to extend a helping hand,
a thread woven into our heritage that many now fail to understand.”
He paused and reflected, “Maybe just all being, Australian, as one,
not the racial or religious factions, that see the fabric come undone.”

nice words bernard.

" not the racial or religious factions, that see the fabric come undone "

and at least the acceptance of OUR way of life!
