Australia Day Recipes, Colouring Pages & Music

Delicious Aussie themed recipes for Australia Day, free colouring-in printables for the kids and an epic Aussie music playlist!

Australia Day is a day that means many different things to many people.  The National Australia Day Council website describes it as a day to reflect, respect and celebrate. Reflect on our history, its highs and its lows. Respect the stories of others, and celebrate our nation, its achievements and most of all, its people. Many people like to enjoy the public holiday and come together with friends and family to celebrate being an Aussie, to have a BBQ, swim in the pool, or play a backyard game of cricket. To help make this day as memorable as possible, I’ve put together a collection of traditional Australian recipes (including a few with an interesting twist!), an Aussie music playlist, and some free colouring-in printables to keep the young ones entertained too!

Australia day dessert ideaGet your thongs and togs on, and celebrate with some lamingtons, Vegemite scrolls, pavlova and meat pies! Here’s my collection of Australian recipes that are set to impress.

AUSTRALIA DAY SWEET SNACKS

AUSTRALIA DAY LAMINGTONS – Who can resist Lamingtons on Australia Day! Lammies are such an Aussie tradition, so it’s always good to use a recipe that works well and is yummy as well. I like this Australia Day Lamingtons recipes, because of the hard set chocolate topping.

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
