oz day 2008 in são paulo

25th january was a public holiday in são paulo - celebrating the 454th anniversary of the city, but on 26th january an international group gathered in parque do aclimação to celebrate australia day!

there were vegemite sandwiches, fairy bread, lamingtons, pavlova, caramello koalas, crunchies, vegemite and cheese crackers, sarsparella and ginger beer cordial and the much coveted tim tams!!

whilst listening to aussie tunes we ate and drunk and were merry, and a few brave souls completed the aussie obstacle course (shot of sarsparella cordial concentrate, dress yourself with a c0rk hat and aussie apron, eat a dry weet-bix with peanut butter, wash it down with a shot of ginger beer cordial, thrown a frisbee through a hole and be the first to grab skippy the inflatable kangaroo!)

much fun was had by all - thank to my fellow aussie day oc members, karl and ruth. cheers mates!!
