It depends on what area you're in Belinda. Each city council in Adelaide tends to have their own celebrations and then there are a lot of other private parties etc. as well.

Here's a fun one at Glenelg:

This is what they are doing in Kingston, Tasmania.

for those not here yet, Australia Day, (26th Jan), is BIG, lots of hype and flags.

This is a bit late.... but for future reference:

Our first Australia day was spent in the city watching the cultural parade and then heading in to Elder park for the concert and festivities.

The have the mayor speaking and choir singing as well - really made us feel a part of it all - and understand what the big celebration is all about.

This year, because of the heat the year before I believe they did the parade and concert in the evening - and finished it off with fireworks...

Adelaide always has something going on - if in doubt always check the South Australian website (www.southaustralia.com) "its heaps good"

Take care,
