Australia Night

Tonight is Australia Night,
I wonder how many of my fellow Australian's will celebrate, or even remember that tonight is Australia Night, when the rest of the colonists (and the rum) disembarked from the Frst Fleet, and a very vigorous orgy ensured.
Because when the first settlers landed in Australia, after the men built the camp, the women disembarked from seperate ships!
The high school level history books dont mention it, but other history books do, some quite graphically (ie, threesomes and other things)!

"Good God what a Seen of Whoredom is going on there in the women's camp....I would call it by the name Sodom for there is more sin committed in it, than in any other part of the world."
Lieutenent Ralph Clark, 1788.

Some good quotes from Christian sites that mention Australia's founding.
Australia never was a Christian nation. It was neither founded by Pilgrims nor birthed in prayer.
The manifest for the First Fleet, among the 700 spades and 8000 fish-hooks, listed just one Bible.
That night the convict women were landed, extra rations of rum were issued and a bacchanalian orgy followed that ceased only when the revellers were drenched by a thunderstorm.

Hmm, no orgies for me tonight, but I am going to a Fabian party on Saturday, and Im well stocked on supplies!
