Australia Party Theme

Take a trip to the land down under with friends at you Australia Day party.  Australia Day is a national holiday in Australia, which is celebrated on January 26.   

One doesn't need to be Australian to honor the country's culture.  Place an Australian flag at the entranceway to the party.  Twist red, white, and blue streamers, hanging them corner-to-corner on the ceiling.   Paste photos of Australia's flora and fauna on the walls, including kangaroos and koalas.  

Show Aussie pride by wearing the color's of the Australian flag: red, white, and blue.  Or wear Australian Outback explorer costumes.

English is the official language of Australia, but the accent is unique.  Have an imitating contest to see whose accent sounds more authentic.  Give out awards for the best imitation. 

For the Australian people, sports are an important aspect of life.  Popular sports inthe country are cricket, hockey, soccer, and rugby.  Split into teams to enjoy friendly-competition at the bash. 

An Australian feast should consist of roast meat and vegetables, meat pie, baked beans, sausages, foccacias, curry, and other dishes.  For dessert, try pavlova or Anzac biscuits.  Indigenous cuisine examples include calamari seasoned with lemon myrtle, smoked salmon, and damper bread.  Use Australian-themed dinner plates, napkins, and cups to serve the feast. 

Celebrate the work of famous Australians, such as Olivia Newton-John, Mel Gibson, and others.
