    We celebrate our land. Except for bits of it that look like this:


    [Simpson Desert covers 17,000 sq. kilometres and straddles 3 states]

    Or this:


    [Gibber Dessert, also known as Sturt's Stony Desert]

    Or especially this:


    [Aboriginal Australian humpy (dwelling)]

    And we just don't like to think about this:


    [Children inside an immigration detention center]

    So we party and pretend it's all good but as much as I love my country and the spirit of the Aussie people, I find it hard to celebrate too hard as we still have our issues to sort out yet. Have a good day. Sorry if this is a spoiler but we really need to be more open and honest about the whole country and not just show off the good bits. Oprah just did the nice bits.
