The best day of the year for Australia is upon us. Bring out the Two-Up, grab your inflatable swan, make sure you’ve got your Australia Day tats plastered on and lets begin.
You don’t have to celebrate by wearing nothing but pluggers, a wide brimmed cork hat and the Australian flag wrapped around your body – but it would certainly help.
You’re Australia-ing right
What you do need, though, are a few key essentials to ensure that your Australia Day really pays tribute to the land of the free; the best country in the world. Because there’s nothing worse than Post-AusDay-Regret.
