Christmas and New Year's have been and gone and the holidays seem all but over. If you're anything like me you will be keenly awaiting the next public holiday to spend at the beach, in the park or in my case doing the Australia Day fun run.
Australia Day presents a fantastic opportunity to don a pair of aussie thongs and hat to join in community celebrations, have a BBQ with friends, join in or watch Australia Day parades and the ever popular fire works display.
The great thing about living in the lucky country is that we have such a laid back lifestyle and we certainly put this on display for Australia Day, but which town/region represents it best?
Being from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, I am biased as to where I think the best celebrations are. The Peninsula hosts free breakfasts or BBQ lunches in 6 towns, has an Australia Day fun run from Safety Beach to Rosebud, a street parade in Mornington, a swim event in Mt Martha, fireworks in Rye and Mornington, live entertainment in most of the towns, free children's activities, sailing experience, farmers market, teddy bears picnic, Globe international skate board team, vintage car display and so much more.

I have never been anywhere else on Australia Day except for the Peninsula (sad but true), but I would love to visit a tiny town somewhere that has the biggest community spirit and celebrates in true Aussie fashion.
We would love to know which town celebrates Australia best?
Happy Australia Day to everyone!
