Tradition

Aussie Christmas

In Australia, we celebrate Christmas by the swimming pool or at the beach. It is usually very hot, and often a bluetongue lizard comes up to the house to eat Christmas dinner leftovers.

Bunnings Snag

A bunnings snag is more than a sausage in bread. It is THE BEST sausage in bread, and if you ask someone from Australia their favourite snack, they are likely to say a Bunnings snag.

Home in the country

Generally a city person but we are lucky to have a small 10acre property we escape to for three to four days per week. It has kept me sane during Covid 19. We lived here full time.

Almost 90% of Australia's population lives around the coastline so primary school children are given swimming lessons at school. The younger kids learn to swim the better.
