It’s a day when we as Australians get to reflect on what it means to live in this great country and why we love it. It is also a day of celebration and the accompanying food, friends, fireworks and fun. So slip into your thongs, whack on some sunscreen and see which one of these fab ideas suits you.
Dress in Australian colours
The beauty of this wide brown land is we actually have some choice with this. So if green and gold isn’t good for your colouring you can always do the traditional red, white and blue.
Cook Australian food
Australia is a land of the gourmet delight and no more so than when we are eating our traditional cuisine.
Have a go at the humble lamington, pavlova, triffle or ANZAC biscuit – not just for the 25th April – for a sweet treat.
There is also a plethora of savoury dishes that we all love such as meat pies, sausage rolls, and prawns any way you like them.
Hang with lots of mates
It is traditional to spend Australia day with as many mates as possible, so get a gang together and enjoy.
Fireworks - a must if you can find them
Fireworks are one of the best ways to celebrate any event. Seek out where your closest fireworks will be this Australia Day.
Sport, sport and more sport
Play it, watch it, and accept it. It’s the Australian way. Whether it is cricket, tennis, soccer or hockey find your game and go hard.
Music
From concerts to top 100 songs of the year, Australia day is a musical day.
Get nationalised
The final step in the journey to become an Australian citizen, for most people, is to make the Australian Citizenship Pledge at an Australian citizenship ceremony. What better day to do this than Australia Day.
