Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
Happy New Year to all of our subscribers! With Christmas behind us, it's now time to sit back and enjoy the start of the new year in true Aussie style - long summer days at the beach, BBQs with friends and loved ones, camping under the stars and of course Australia Day!
Australia Day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788. Celebrations of Australia Day date back to 1808 with the first official celebration taking place in New South Wales in 1818.
Australia Day Entertaining
Australia Day would not be complete without an Aussie BBQ followed by an iconic Australian sweet - Lamingtons!! The Lamington is believed to be invented by accident over 100 years ago by Lord Lamington (the eighth governor of Queensland). One of Lord Lamington’s maids accidentally dropped her freshly baked sponge cake into melted chocolate. To prevent sticky fingers, she covered the cake with coconut and thus a new invention was born!! Here is our version of the recipe.
