In honour of the fact that January 26 is Australia Day, I hereby present my nominations for this year's Australia Day Honours List. Little Aussie blogs that can - and do. Of course, the biggest problem with a list like this is limiting it. I'd put in every Australian blog if I could, but that wouldn't make for a succinct blog post. So I've chosen five old favourites, and five that are new (or newish) to me. All are flying the flag for Aussie blogs. All are blogalicious.
So Now What?
Life and Other Crises
Not Drowning, Mothering
Ah, The Possibilities
Diminishing Lucy
Keep Cate Busy
Big Words Blog
Life On Planet Baby
Life In The Country
The Byron Life
So, tell me, who would you put on your Australia Day Honours List for Blogging? Give me your top five and let's hand out a few OAMB awards.

Life In The Country! I used to read that one. I'm going to have to hop on over and do some serious catching up there.
ReplyDeleteOkay, my five are:

It's great to get links to such great blogs. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou rock. Thank you. I have a big silly grin on my face now.
ReplyDeleteWill pop back tomorrow with a select five...
Thank you Al. Happy Australia Day to you! As you know, I've totally recycled by Australia Day post. The only changes are that Michael Clarke and Butterbingle are no longer together and Triple J hasn't leaked the winner in 2011!

Love your work lovely lady xxx
Love your list. You've included many of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteI'd also add yours (of course), mine (naturally, since I'm particularly amazing) and for sheering inspiring awesomeness Cate Bolt (http://catherinebolt.com/)
Also Cate Pearce's I'll Think of a Title Later (http://catep36.blogspot.com/)
And a relative newcomer to my must read blog list: Where's My Glow (http://www.wheresmyglow.com/)
Thanks @Jess and @Susan - all fantastic choices. The pretty brigade provided by @Jess have really lifted the gorgeous factor, and I love the two Cates as well as Glowless, as well.
ReplyDeleteI can see this is going to keep me busy!
What a fabulous idea! I've been thinking I need to share the love and so many of the fabulous blog around. Share the love I say. Don't hog the good blogs! xx
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite Aussie Blogs is Where's My Glow?. Glowless makes me laugh loudly and often.
ReplyDeleteTotally honoured Allison. Thank you. I just spent the last half an hour going through trying to do a list but found it nearly impossible because there are so many wonderful ones. I'll do it tomorrow when I am less sleepy! Again, thank you x
ReplyDeleteI must say, this Australian blog community is amazing! Such great stories and images and the sense of sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list, I look forward to discovering some new blogs!
Oh! I'm so thrilled! THANK YOU DARLING!!!
ReplyDeleteI find it very very VERY hard to pick out just five (but LOVE those you listed....). However, I just discovered this little blog http://www.showandtellideas.blogspot.com/ which is definitely worth checking out.
Happy Aust Day to all! And may the blog ideas run wild and free, in and out of the Pink Fibro.... xxxxxxx
