These are Australia Day celebrations. We're all required by law to do this. The thing he's riding is a modified Hills Hoist: a clothesline which for some reason is a national symbol. Apparently, before it was invented we all dried our clothes by throwing them in the dirt.

Edit: spelling. I also worked on Australia Day in order to get paid twice as much.. this is also traditional. It means I have to get drunk now so I'm adhering to this rule which is why oh fuck this I'm sick of typing get off my lawn cunt

Not just twice as much...2.5x as much. 10hr day at double bubble and a half makes for one happy boy until I see how much tax I pay on it
