Strewth
Because the nation's big public holiday deserves a shindig boasting some local slang.
Overview
Strewth isn't just the most Aussie thing you can exclaim when you're surprised, although is certainly that. At The Elephant, it's also an annual pre-Australia Day party. As the Fortitude Valley pub clearly knows, the nation's big public holiday deserves a shindig boasting some local slang, after all.
That's not all the free event boasts in its second year, with an array of tunes the real drawcard. Brisbane favourites Velociraptor top the bill, alongside Babaganouj, Waax, Deluso and Deeds. If you hadn't already guessed, an afternoon of rock 'n' roll is on the menu.
If the music lineup isn't enough (or you just know that you'll be sporting a sizeable thirst and a hefty appetite), The Elephant's usual combination of beer and barbecued food will certainly hit the spot. Basically, you can pretend you're in your own backyard — but no one has to cook, and your soundtrack is being played live.
