Australia Day 2013 – Google Doodle

Australia Day 2013 – Google Doodle

Australia Day

Today 26 January 2013 is National Australia Day 2013. Google have decided to celebrate the Australia Day with a special Google Doodle, reminding everyone that it is National Australia Day. In the Australia Day Google Doodle one can see the lines of the land, and in front of the doodle there is a kangaroo and a baby kangaroo and the baby kangaroo is waiving the Australian flag, which seems appropriate. The Australia Day Google Doodle looks cute, and there is something friendly and inviting in the image that made me want to click and read more about Australia Day.

2012 Australian Grand Prix – Race

A strong weekend in Melbourne came to a disappointing end for the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS team today with Nico Rosberg finishing the Australian Grand Prix in 12th place and team-mate Michael Schumacher retiring.

  • Both drivers had excellent starts with Michael making up one place to third, and Nico moving from seventh to fourth

  • Michael was still running in third position when a gearbox problem forced him to retire the car on lap 11

  • Nico ran a two stop race with an option/option/prime tyre strategy, stopping on laps 12 and 31

  • He would have finished in the points before a clash with Perez on the last lap dropped him to back to 12th place
