    Actually I think this is a ceremony when crossing the international date line from east to west.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Exactly, my own grandmother and mother have images of the elaborate home-made costumes they used to create for school events - and always a different national costume! Indians seem to be quite popular in this image! Cheers, Penny

    "St Patrick’s Day has always been the day for the Irish in Australia. On 17 March 1795 there were rowdy festivities among the Irish convicts, and the cells were filled with prisoners. Later the occasion gained in respectability, marked by formal dinners attended by the colonial elite, many with no Irish connections."
