Family & Community Day

It's a public holiday today in the Australian Capital. They are celebrating Family & Community day. This holiday started last year and is held on the first Tuesday of November. The idea of this holiday is to foster quality time for workers to spend with their families. Coincidentally today is also the Melbourne Cup Day(Horse Racing).

My family and I went out and it was so quiet. The shops closed earlier than usual and they weren't many people around. We went to this d.i.y shop called Bunnings Warehouse and I saw some of the staffs were actually sitting and watching the Melbourne Cup. I guess they just love horses or betting...hehe.
