They've even had clergymen from Esperance, 900 km away, drive in for the bash, which last year raised $A5,000 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

The U.S. has already remembered its Aussie ally with a free-trade agreement that could boost the $A800 billion Australian economy by $A5 billion a year.
