Australia Day in Brisbane 2014

Overview

Australia Day is always a big deal. Not simply because, um, well, we are Australian, but because it gives us a chance to celebrate everything great about this land of sweeping plains with friends and family. Everyone enjoys getting into the ‘Strayan spirit, so naturally there is a heap of stuff on. I can’t pick just one to share, so here are some great Aussie Day parties for everyone to enjoy.

Henrik Schwarz and Danny Daze at Bakery Lane

This will be a good old fashioned block party with some amazing tunes from some great DJ’s. Two bars and a street style BBQ in the heart of the Valley. Tickets are $33.

Strange Yonder Oz Day Party at Black Bear Lodge

We featured a chat with Brisbane creative talents Strange Yonder last week. Surprisingly good timing as they are hosting a show at Black Bear Lodge on Australia day. Performances from Tsun, The Furrs and The Ottomans. Entry is $10 on the door.

Future Classic Australia Day Party at Oh Hello!

The Future Classic family are taking over Oh Hello on Australia Day to play some great tunes and party like it’s the arrival of the First Fleet all over again. There will be some great performances from the likes of Jacques Renault, Medlar, Touch Sensitive, Panama and Charles Murdoch. Tickets are $23.50.

Best of The West End Film Festival at The State Library of Queensland

This is for those who would rather an activity with less boisterousness and a little more air-conditioning. The West End Film Festival is prepping for their 2014 season and to get people in the mood they are screening some gems from previous years. This one is free and ideal for all cinephiles.

There is plenty more out there to do, just make sure you have a memorable Australia day this year!
