Warrigal’s Coat of Arms
Greetings from Emmjay and FM
The Pig’s Arms pub lives in cyberspace where the council rates are cheaper and the licensing laws are – shall we say, loosely policed.
But associated pub denizens build the pub, brick by brick on Gadigal Land – part of the Eora nation.
We would like to acknowledge the custodians of the land and pay our respects to elders, past, present and emerging.
Is, was, and always will be Aboriginal land.
We wish all Australians peace and harmony and celebrate all things Australian today in the Australian tradition of getting things a bit wrong fraternally.
Australia became a nation of states and territories on the first of January 1901 – the real Australia Day – but since that was already a day off, the next logical choice was Paul Keating’s birthday – 26th January.
In the spirit of inclusion, I would like to thank Algy for leaving Johnny Farnham out of the Pig’s Arms Australia Day hottest 100.
Have a great day, mates. Kick back and put Paul Hogan on the barbie.
Happy Invasion Day piglets.
Time for us all to reconfirm our commitment to real reconciliation and a meaningful, constitutionally recognised place for the first Australians
We’ve been having a quiet one here at the gunyah and not a flag or southern cross in site. Bess has been out on lizard patrol in the garden ensuring that the dragons, shinglebacks and skinks are all celebrating appropriately. Sche went off and played piano at an old folks home, while I have been trying to work our why I haven’t been able to login to The Arms for some months.
Hopefully that is now solved because, while I still have no idea what I did that sorted the problem, it appears that this “reply” may get through.

Well always good to see you Waz. A quiet one here also, cricket watching and making a hash of a giant crossword with Mrs A.

It was a close call Emm, but thought no it just wouldn’t be right.
