    AUSTRALIA Day won't just be celebrated with the usual barbecues, pool parties and the Triple J Hottest 100 this year.

    A throng of Australian websites will mark the event by fading to black as part of a week-long, national protest against the Federal Government's proposed internet filter.

    More than 150 website owners have joined The Great Australian Internet Blackout so far, and organiser Jeff Waugh predicts many more will sign up during the week of national action.
