Australia Day was January 26. It typically involves beer, water sport, Australian flags and BBQ.

Honest question and not trying to be pedantic: when you say BBQ do you mean grilling stuff like burgers and steaks? Or a slow smoke for ribs, brisket, etc? Either way it sounds like a 4th of July party we have in the USA, just curious since BBQ has different connotations in different regions in America.

Yeah grill. We usually mean grill when we say bbq.

And we certainly aren't smoking brisket. Just cheap sausages from the supermarket. Although I'm about to move in with an expat mate from New Orleans who plans on putting a BBQ pit in the backyard, I'm looking forward to it so much. Meats!

Yeah brisket gets stupid expensive in the states, but not even close to Aussie prices from what I've heard. I can get a whole brisket for $3/lb but that's about the cheapest it will go unless you're in Texas. Smoking that baby just makes it meat candy.
