Honor the upcoming Australia Day in style celebrating the nation’s diversity, ideals, and values. There are tons of ways to make the day truly memorable. Gather up your folks, here lists some of the best Aussie-inspired activities to be indulged in.

Witness Harbour Events

Sydney Harbour can be identified as one of the best places that we can’t avoid while thinking about the Australia Day celebrations. There are many vessels in the harbour offering stunning Australia Day harbour cruises in Sydney. Spot an ultra-modern vessel and gather up your friends and family, on board to see the spectacular harbour events up close. Let it be an Australian built catamaran cruise promising a freshly prepared buffet lunch and beverages for the duration of the cruise so that you can witness the spectacular harbour views with an amazing cruising and restaurant-quality dining experience. Enjoy the continuous stream of harbour events including the Ferrython, Navy Search & Rescue, the RAAF Flyover, and so on. Get on board catamaran Aussie Day special cruise, one of the best Australia Day lunch cruises on Sydney Harbour and get ready to take in the Aussie spirit in the air.

Enjoy Best Aussie Food & Drinks

Have a get-together, no matter if it’s a small or large group, but spending time with your family and friends, enjoying some of the best Aussie special food and drinks can be identified as one of the best things to do on Australia Day. Start the celebration from mid-morning and carry on until well after dark so that you can enjoy a great selection of genuine Aussie food aside from booze. Let this be at your home or a picnic at the park, throw some tunes and enjoy BBQ. Try to host your own BBQ or head to your friend’s home. Plan an Australian cook off, let your friends and family members cook their favorite Aussie dishes. You can pick up a slab of beer, a refreshing addition to your grilled sausages and steaks. Fill your bathtub with ice if you are in a quite large team. You can try a Tim-Tam slam, chocolate-covered biscuit treats, quite special to the Aussie Tea Table sessions and enjoy the chocolatey goodness. There is one more that can be added to the list, Pavlova, the giant, fluffy meringue topped with sweet cream and fruit and perhaps a platter of fairy bread, an Australian through and through.

Organising Entertaining Events

Talk with your family members and friends’ circle, organise a few activities for Australia Day, keep everyone entertained. Conduct competitions and give the winner a patriotic prize like an Australian flag, beer, and so on. You can organise a competition making Australia-themed crafts, certain to be a hit with the kiddos. Let them make a mini didgeridoo or decorate paper boomerangs. Print out blank, colourless Australian flags and organise a colouring competition for children. Let them colour the Aussie flags. Make sure they are aware about the importance of the day if not, let the adults teach them the same. You can decorate your house with handmade Australian flags to showcase your Aussie spirit. House decoration can also be a competition. Let the families decorate their house in theme with Aussie Day special tablecloths, towels, mugs, and so on. Get decked out in Australian gear, wear your Aussie Day special outfit. You can also conduct a touch footy or cricket tournament, the crowd-pleaser for the youngsters in your team. Make sure you save a section of your yard for a cricket pitch. If you’ve got a backyard swimming pool, great! There is no better time to make the best of this much anticipated holiday. Have a break on a hot summer day and cool off your heads. Play some cool Aussie tunes to kick the spirit of the day into high gear.
