What You Should Be Doing This Australia Day

Cool Off

Whether you’re relaxing by the pool or chilling on the beach, there is no better time than Australia day to cool off in the water. If you’re up for the crowds, most beaches will be packed with patriotic Australia lovers and there will be plenty of beachside events taking place on the Sunshine Coast this year. Jump into your Southern Cross budgie smugglers and hit the waves.

Put a Shrimp on the Barbie

There is nothing more Australian than a good old barbie. Sizzle up some snags, prawns, and steaks for the ultimate Aussie feast and don’t forget to have a XXXX Gold nearby. You can host your BBQ at home or hit up a local park to share in the celebrations with your community. If you’re hosting a big one, look into mobile cold room hire to make sure you can keep everything cool on the day.

Dress to Impress

One way that we love to celebrate Australia Day is to clad ourselves in a true blue Aussie outfit and hit the town. There are plenty of best-dressed Australia Day competitions at various Aussie Day events around the South East Coast. Go all out and you might even win a prize for your efforts. Some of our favourite costume themes are the Australian flag, bushrangers, and beachy vibes.
