Australia Day

Aussie expats are scattered far and wide but no matter where they on the globe, they will be uniting to celebrate Australia Day in style.

And just because you aren’t actually in Australia, or even Australian yourself, doesn’t mean you need to miss out on all the dinky-di, true-blue Australia Day celebrations. In fact, partying with Aussie expats is usually more raucous and fun than being Down Under.

So, on behalf every Aussie traveller and expat, we welcome you to join us at Australia Day 2016 events the world over. Here are a few tip-top suggestions:

United States

G’DAY USA is the face of Australia in the States (apart from Chris Hemsworth) and their biggest annual shindig is the Australia Day Gala in Hollywood. At $750 per person for general admission it’s a tad pricey for us mere mortals, but if you do fork out you will be rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood ‘Aussie Mafia’ A-list.

Event: G’day USA Gala
Date: 28 January 2016
Location: Vibiana. 214 S Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
See: GdayUSA.org (Bookings close 27 Jan – $750 general admission)

Meanwhile, if you happen to be in Texas there is a rather more typical Australia Day happening. The AACC, Houston Lonestars Australian Football Club and Houston Shooting Stars Netball Club welcome you to their big annual BBQ and sports day on Sunday January 24th.

The ski resort town of Whistler is a favourite winter hang-out for loads of Aussie ski and board bunnies, and on Australia Day it absolutely goes off!
