What does a Russian billionaire who is a retail kingpin buy to treat himself? Well a US$250 million super yacht of course! Sergey Galitskiy is the owner of the Russian retail chain Magnit and is worth about $7 Billion. Befitting a man of his stature, Quantum Blue is a 341 foot (104m) super yacht designed by Alberto Pinto for the ultra-luxurious manufacturer Lurssen.

A few days ago I put forward the question 'what 2 things are most important on Australia Day'. In essence what I was asking really was, what makes us Australian - what is it that defines us as a nation and lets the rest of the world know who we are and what we stand for?

If I was to ask the average Australian what two things best summarise this great southern land of ours- and more importantly, how they plan on integrating this into their Australia Day Celebrations they would probably come back with a whole host of answers, none of which would be wrong I might add.
