What's on in Australia
"The weekend is free time to relax and look forward to their favourite activities"
Come and enjoy an event downunder - there are major events around the country all year!
Most of our sporting events are played Friday to Sunday and you will see mums and dads from all walks of life preparing for the day's outing. You will find them either loading the car to take the kids off to the footy and netball in winter or cricket and tennis in summer, swimming all year round and many other sports and activities.
Nevertheless they still get time to go to other cultural events and Agricultural Shows are big in Australia. Sideshow Alley is where everyone gets excited on the rides and stocking up on their favourite show bags. The animal pavilions and horse events in the main arena are always popular and the produce stalls fascinate everyone.
Aussies also love to watch major sporting events, music concerts of a number of varieties and film and art festivals.
There are thousands of wonderful things happening in Australia all year round. Australians like to dress up, go to dinner, see a show or movie, take a boat ride, go dancing, sit in one of our fantastic waterside bars or night-clubs in any city or major town and sip on a cocktail.
And wherever Aussies get together there is usually an event planned to keep them attentive.
Here are a couple of tasters just to get started
