Australia Day

Family Feud - What does one do on Australia Day?
(Family Fortune in the UK)

We had no idea what to do on this national holiday, annually on the 26th of January. Everyone we asked along the way gave us their version.

Our Survey said:
5) Picnic at a local cricket match.

4) Listen to the radio top 100 on 'Triple J' from 12 noon, for 12 hours.

3) Go to the beach.

2) Have a bbq.

'thongs on a van'

And 100% of Aussies surveyed, said...

1 Get drunk.


What did we do on Australia day?

It's a national holiday so we had the day off from work just like everyone else. We had a big lie in before our attempt to fulfil a patriotic duty. Without friends party to attend, we packed our bbq and drove to the beach listening to Triple J. The local butcher gave us some 'snags' (sausages) on the way and we made it to Newcastle in time for lunch. It was packed. Luckily they had sea baths off to the side for us to lay in. Nothing crazy - just a good summer day at the beach : )
