Do Something Australian

Sport is a huge part of who we are as Australians.

REFLECT. RESPECT. CELEBRATE.

See those words up there? That’s what Australia Day is all about. You might choose to pause and reflect on our history – both difficult and beautiful. Perhaps you’ll show your respect by attending a ceremony, or trying something new. Maybe you’ll celebrate with some great friends and great tunes! Whether you choose to reflect, respect, celebrate or do all three on Australia Day – you’re contributing to our story. The story of Australia.
And that’s doing something Australian.
