Food, Drink & Dining Out Aussie day!

[jonesy03]

[edgie]

I'll be at work.

 

[muttweed]

That'll be my last day in Australia until September. Travelling the world!

I'll probably spend the day having a barbecue at the beach with family and friends. Then at night, I'll go to my friend's house, all decked out in our footy guernseys and Aussie printed clothes, while we drink, dance and have a huge waterfight. Tradition.

Cricket is boring as shit. Footy would make my Australia day officially Australian.

Seat G6 in the temporary Eastern Stand between the Chappell Stands at the Adelaide Oval, whilst almost everyone else at my place of employment has to work!

 

[thecatattack]

Watch Australia smashing India.

 

[BarneyBent]

On a train from Rome to Florence.

 

[SugarShane]

Probably BBQ at a mate's place, hopefully avoiding hearing any of the Shit 100.

 

[Kcrack]

More like Invasion day lol. But hey, at least I get work off >_>

 

[MarcusP2]

At the cricket in the Members stand feeling superior.

 

[nicky]

Hosting a bbq. No cricket, thankfully my friends aren't into it.

We'll play petanque championships.

 

[ioppolo]

BBQ and beers at a friends, who knows what else will happen.

An Australia Day AFL game at the MCG would be huge, right up there with Anzac Day... if it were logistically possible that is.

Maybe the opening game of the NAB Cup at Etihad?

On a serious note; I am not one for patriotic ejaculations so I couldn't give a shit about 'White Australia Day' at all - But if we really wanted to have a national day that was inclusive of all of our citizens, why would we choose a date that has so many obvious bad connotations for the indigenous people in the country?

If we wanted a legitimate national day, it should be Jan 1st - That was when we become the federation of Australia - Before that this place was a bunch of white, British colonies who, in all honesty, were brutal ****s who decimated the indigenous population and who refused to allow Asian immigrants into the country

*(yeah, white australia last a lot longer past 1901, but you get my point) -

Sailing in the Australia Day Regatta on Sydney Harbour.

Kind of wish I could trade with one of my mates. He's in the Army Reserves and his artillery battalion is doing the midday guns on the Opera House's Man O'War Steps.

 

[CHIEF SMACKAHOE]

I agree with what you're saying and am also not patriotic.

but i do love a day off.

You ever done a Festival of Sail, Caeser? Definitely missing out if you haven't.

 

[Caesar]

Nope. But I sail small one-design keelboats and skiffs... two- and three-man crews. I think the FoS is all big boats.

Would love to do it one day though. Getting my sea miles up and doing some of the big bluewater races is on my bucket list.

Oh man. Good thing the Nth Melb mafia haven't got to this thread yet.

 

[DTRAIN87]

Go to some JJJ gig at the ESPY.

 

[Old Skool]

Taking no notice of the fact it is "Australia day"

 

[edgie]

The tripple J whatever it is is a crock. If I wanted to listen to new Aussie bands playing classically Aussie music in homeage to those who came before I'll get out my Airbourne.

What exactly do you think the Hottest 100 is?

Would you really wanna watch footy in the middle of January when it's 30c +?

I love footy just as much as the next bloke, but it's a winter sport.

Almost the exact same thing except without the cricket.
