Australia Day in Queensland means a celebration of culture, a blending of the ancient and
00:08
the new, the sacred and special with the unique.
00:15
It's a day to welcome new citizens like Nick, Essie and Ravimba.
00:19
Australia is such a beautiful country.
00:20
I don't think there's any country that's better than Australia that I've been to.
00:26
It's also a chance to enjoy the best of what this part of the world has to offer.
00:32
And to take a plunge for a good cause.
00:35
My mother wanted me to come so I came down.
00:37
In Townsville, First Nations people gathered on the foreshore to celebrate their survival
00:42
as a people and culture, before the Premier helped welcome recent arrivals.
00:52
The Gold Coast, unsurprisingly, was all about the beach, a surf, a barbie and maybe a beer
00:58
or two.
00:59
Oh, it's a celebration, really.
01:02
In Ipswich, faces were plunged into pions and champions declared.
01:08
You've just won the pioneering contest out here, how do you feel?
01:11
I feel amazing.
01:12
In Woolloon, new traditions were being created.
01:15
The pub packed for the third annual Yabby auction and race.
01:19
$30 bucks for that, $30 bucks down the aisle.
01:22
$50.
01:23
Oh, straight to $50.
01:24
Can you tell me what you're looking for in a Yabby?
01:26
Yeah, we're looking for about $60 in a Yabby, but thankfully it's going to a good cause.
01:32
Not too far away, another race was being held.
01:36
This one involving pigs.
01:37
Gold pig, gold pig, you guys, take it away please.
01:40
Oh it is, it's like me, they get a bit hungry and they follow, they're looking for the milk.
01:45
A bit of unusual fun, helping to raise thousands for sick kids and their families.
01:50
It's Australia Day, what's better than helping someone you'll probably never meet.
01:54
Something for everyone, this Australia Day.
