Well the first fleet did arrive with convicts on board.

As for work, f*ck it, I need a break and today is official bludger day. BBQ is ready and the beer is chilled. 27 degrees today and not much cloud, perfect arvo for backyard cricket.
To quote Al Bundy;
Al: See, this is a holiday for the working guy. Celebrates all the people who work, so that all of the people who don't get to live longer and have more than he does. So, tomorrow, unless God willing I die in my sleep, I get up for me, and celebrate for me. Tomorrow, is Al Bun-Day.
