G’day, frugal friends!
Australia Day is just around the corner, and we know that celebrating our nation’s history doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune. Here are some budget-friendly ways to mark the occasion without breaking the bank:
1. Host a Backyard BBQ
A classic way to celebrate Australia Day is with a backyard BBQ. Save money by asking guests to bring a dish to share, Aussie-style.
2. DIY Decorations
Rather than buying decorations, why not make your own? Get creative with green and gold craft supplies or print your Australian flags.
3. Explore Local Events
Many towns and cities host free or low-cost events for Australia Day, like community picnics, concerts, or fireworks displays. Check out what’s happening in your area.
4. Organise a Beach Day
If you live near the coast, a day at the beach is a quintessentially Australian way to celebrate. Pack a picnic, bring some games, and enjoy the summer sun.
5. Host a Movie Night
Australia has produced many fantastic films. Consider hosting an Australia Day movie night featuring iconic Aussie films like ‘Crocodile Dundee’, ‘The Castle’, or ‘Muriel’s Wedding’.
6. Volunteer or Donate
Australia Day is also an opportunity to give back to our community. Consider volunteering at a local charity or donating to a cause you care about.
Remember, celebrating Australia Day is about appreciating our beautiful country and spending time with loved ones, not how much you spend.
