There are free concerts, bikini babes, and bogans as far as the eye can see.

What day of the year sees the most hookups in the US?

Thanksgiving seems to be way more family oriented than Australia Day, but Thanksgiving celebrates something wonderful in American history, whereas Australia Day actually commemorates the landing of the first shipload of convicts to our shores.

Yes, we celebrate a ship full of flea-ridden convicts in shackles, finally reaching land.

No wonder Australia Day is nothing but a massive booze up. Most Aussies don't even know what it's all about, in fact I thought it celebrated federation until very recently.
Most likely New Years' Eve. Because a lot of single people will pretty much throw caution to the wind to have a roll in the hay with somebody, anybody.

But we do that NYE too.

I don't think there is a direct equivalent, really.

Our day is more about celebrating what we've become (which is pretty awesome), not what we came from.

Cheers!

Any country that produces Jesse Spencer and Yalumba is okay in my book.

But the U.S. doesn't really have a day where there are hook-ups. Y'all got the flea-ridden convicts. We got the Puritans.

Yalumba! LOL! Can you seriously buy that where you are?

It's viewed as kind of "every day" quality here...so that tells you how good our really good wines are.
