Next Year, We Should All Go Down Under For Australia Day
In case you missed it, everyone down under was busy celebrating Australia Day on Sunday, and you may want to book your ticket for next year, because it looked like the most perfect of holidays. Marking the first arrival of British fleets in 1788, it's a fun, sunny holiday that honors the nation's beginnings. Based on the Instagram evidence, we should all be celebrating, Aussies or not. First of all, it involves beach days in January, and second of all, there are fireworks and giant parties and — once again — so much sun. As those in the northern hemisphere bundle up to stay warm, take a look at these wild photos from Australia Day, and start planning next year's trip now.

Basically, Australia Day is one big float party.
People are just floating around without a care in the world.
The parks are filled with sunny, happy picnics.
And people are wearing their flag-inspired best.
There are cool flag tattoos you can wear on your wrist.
Or on your forehead.
Australians are busy hanging out in waterfalls.
And smiling their way down giant Slip 'N Slides.
They're jumping off everything.
And some even walk on water.
Let's not forget all the Champagne.
Or the pretty fireworks shows.
Seriously, the fireworks.
It's all just a big, warm, beachy party.
Where flags serve as capes.
Australians are just living the dream.
And did we mention the crazy fireworks?
