Flying Kites on Yeppoon Main Beach
Today is Australia Day. We celebrate Australia Day because 219 years ago to the day, the First Fleet landed in Sydney. Every Australia Day, many people become Australian Citizens in a special ceremony. Anyway, enough history and on to a recount of the celebrations at Yeppoon.
First up, we walked to the KBSC who were offering free sailing boat rides. My sisters and I all had a ride. I decided that going out in the powered rubber boat was much more fun than sailing, which was a bit too slow for my liking.
After the boat rides, we went up to the entertainment area, where the Big Top Circus was performing. Well actually, there wasn’t a big top and the sole contents of the circus were 2 – 3 clowns and a hula-hooper. I didn’t think that they were that good.
After that, we wandered the stalls and bumped into friends. Below are some photos that I took while I was there.
