Ideas for an Australia Themed Party
If there are three things Australians like, I'd put money on them being ouside living, sport, and food & drink. So when the Socceroos are playing, it's the perfect excuse to invite
some mates round for a barbecue, thus combining all three activities in one event!
Australian Party Decorations
Decorate yourself and your room with Australian shirts, flags and scarves (see links, right,
or
search for Australian kit at Kitbag.comg(512634)a(1759159))
).
If you're serving food, search for green and yellow table covers, napkins, plates, cups and
cutlery on our general
Football Party Decorations Page
For bunting, flags, balloons and more

Oceania Football Party Decorations Page
As for other party decorations, you're spoiled for choice. Everything from
Australian hats with corks
to inflatable kangaroos
are
reasonably affordable and available. For colour schemes, you could go for the red, white and blue of the Australian flag, or the yellow and green of their team colours. We have plenty of
ideas for both colour schemes on our Australian football party decorations page.
Food for an Australia Themed Party
Australian cooking is a good reflection of Austrlia as a whole - it's fun, it's fresh, it's unpretentious. It's full of fresh outdoors ingredients and great natural flavours.
And it draws from cultural influences that reflect the origins of many of Australia's inhabitants - Europe and South East Asia. As a result, Aussies were cooking what has
become "trendy fusion food" years before it became fashionable in Europe.
Try some of these next time the Socceroos are playing:
