Im 100% Aussie (and damn proud) but for some reason i dont feel the need to wave an Aussie flag out my car window, wear aussie clothes or jump on the bandwagon for Australia Day.

The small, Aussie flag is always raised outside my house. All year around. Half mast when called for. I do all the Aussie stuff (u know BBQ's, beach cricket, skids in commodore utes, wear king gee stubbies, sing along to barnsy and Waltzing Matilda et al) on a regular basis. Its cool to have some national pride but i think people tend to go a tad over the top.
