    Hey guys,

    Does anyone know of anything happening for Australia Day next week? My girlfriend and I are expats and would love to find a place to have a drink and possibly listen to the Hottest 100...

    Cheers!

    The Woolshed on Parnell St is probably your best bet.

    Woolshed is definately your best bet have been there 2 years in a row, not going tonight as I'm broke.

    They have loads of drinks promotions and usually have a wet tshirt competition too!

    Nolanger remind yourself of something.Most of the people in Australia were forced there under prison sentences,for robbing a slice of bread etc.. So i think they are entitled to have Australia day.The people who took over and killed and degraded the native population are long dead.

    Happy Australia day.
