Feeling a little patriotic… or just needing an excuse to head out to the pub for a drink, Tash and I decided to go to a local Aussie pub called “Mooses Downunder” to celebrate Australia Day. Even though we were 15 hours or so behind the actual day, the 200+ Aussies that gathered at the pub were definitely in the mood to drink, dance and celebrate. Since we were feeling a little homesick it was great to hear a familiar accent, see people wearing Wallabies and AFL jumpers, and listening to great Australian music that we don’t hear on the radio here…

In the spirit of Australia day, they were handing out free Aussie Flag tattoo’s and had a menu to match… Tash and I couldn’t resist the “Aussie Meat Pie with chips and gravy”… yes CHIPS!… not fries… best of all… they used CHICKEN SALT!!!

It was a nice night to wind down and reminisce about all things Australian and off course our family and friends back home… If this pub was a reflection of how Aussies celebrated overseas, I can only imagine what went down at Whistler!!!

Happy Australia Day everyone! Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!…. 

… Oi! Oi! Oi!
