Australia Day is the ultimate day to throw a party in Melbourne.

The Harbour Kitchen team love hosting amazing Australia Day events and on this week’s blog, we share our Australia Day party ideas and inspiration. This Australia Day, invite your nearest and dearest for a reunion, a birthday party or just because!

Event Styling Inspiration

Australia Day event styling does not have to be all about yellow and green! Take Australia Day décor inspiration from the colours of the Australian landscape or include stunning Australian native flowers such as Waratahs, Banksias and gum nuts.

Menu Choices

A sumptuous Australia Day feast often includes BBQ’d meat, fresh salads and classic Aussie desserts such as lamingtons and Pavlova with all the trimmings.

Seafood is always a great choice for Australia Day events. Seared salmon is a very popular menu choice at Harbour Kitchen – salmon always impresses.

Ice Cold Drinks

Essential Australia Day party beverage choices must be served ice cold! Refresh your guests with local beers and Australian wines.

Aussie Soundtrack

Get your Australia Day party started with an old school classic Aussie soundtrack! There are so many favourites that are sure fire dance floor fillers such as John Farnham (in particular, Your the Voice and Take the Pressure Down!), Midnight Oil and Cold Chisel.
