Aussielicious

It’s time for nominations. I’ve been toying with the idea of Aussielicious Awards for a while now and we are starting with an obvious, but challenging one. The Hottest Aussie. You have until next Sunday, Sydney time to get your nominations in and from there I’ll take the top 5 nominees and put them up for your votes.

Nominees can be any Aussie, actors like hunky Hugh Jackman, singers like Anthony Callea, sportsmen like Sonny Bill Williams or Amos Roberts or sexy models like Toby from aussieBum. Anyone you like as long as they are Australian. So get your nominations in now. There will be another category in a month.

Update: It doesn’t have to be people pictured above! There are 21 million Aussies to pic from! 

I just saw this new promo for aussieBum Summer 2008 (northern summer). It’s got some hot footage of hot boys as usual. I love their products and their videos. The guys are always so damned hot.

Today is ANZAC day here in Australia and New Zealand. It’s like Rememberance Day or Veterans Day. It is the day we remember all our war veterans and it’s the anniversary of the tragic Gallipoli landing in Turkey by Australian troops. Before dawn the Australian’s boats had drifted further than they realised and they stormed a beach that was surrounded by cliffs and hundreds died, picked off by Turkish troops above.

This clip is from an Australian movie made years ago with Mel Gibson.

It’s Wednesday morning here in Sydney and it’s raining. Summer is gone but you can recapture the feeling when you see this video from aussieBum. It’s like a greatest hits mashup of lots of their videos, and it’s hot!

While I was away last weekend I saw some surf boat crews training off the local beach and it made me miss the action. This video from aussieBum, great sponsors of the action, shows the fun, adrenaline, the excitement, thrills and spills of surf boat rowing. If it didn’t take over your life, I’d be back into it in a flash. It’s also a bloody good perve

Today, the Australian Government did what they should have done a long time ago. They apologised. They officially said sorry to the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities for the Stolen Generations. For decades, Aboriginal children were taken from their families and forcibly assimilated into the white community. This apology will hopefully be a big step for reconciliation.
