The Test cricket starts at the MCG. The Sydney to Hobart yacht race starts in the harbour. The sales start online at midnight. And every Australian who ate too much yesterday is on the couch watching cricket they would not normally watch because it is Boxing Day and that is what you do.

A day for borrowing, lifting, watching, warning, checking in, and making the block feel less anonymous.
You encounter Saint Helena giant tortoises, wirebirds, and endemic seabirds on these remote Atlantic islands. You notice that islanders commonly keep dogs, cats, and donkeys as their primary pets and working animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
