Australia Immersion Ideas

Immerse Yourself In Australia’s Authentic & Easy Going Culture!

Gather your “mates” for this month’s adventure to the land “down under” the Australian outback! Sprinkled with boom & bust mining towns, teeming with unique wildlife and scorched by the sun, the outback is a vast wilderness hiding many mysteries. Ride the railway, which is the lifeblood of commerce in the outback, carting in workers and supplies, and transporting out the gold, opals, beef and more for sale all over the world. Explore natural wonders like the great red monolith at the heart of Australia, great flat plains, towering cliffs and more.

Australia is home to exciting food, sights, and entertainment and YOUR home can be, too! Check out our cuisine, drink, and music recommendations below.

Our Recommendations:

Cuisine
Australians are serious about their barbeque. Let’s fire up “the barbie” and make a dry rub for the meat! Remember, don’t hold back when applying your rub because you want each bite from the exterior to have enough flavor to carry over to the meat’s interior! Dessert anyone? An Aussie trifle, originally an English dessert, is perfect for celebrations. Get the delicious recipes here.

We suggest washing down your premium Aussie beef with a beer from the Australian-made & owned Coopers Brewery (or a non-alcoholic version Bundaberg Root Beer or Ginger Beer.) For pure Australian bliss (and to impress all your game night guests) give the Great Australian Mule a try. Find the recipe here.

Music
Keep the energy going with a musical playlist of Aussie acts. If your group wants the vibe of a band, choose INXS or AC/DC because you can’t go wrong with “Disappear,” “Thunderstruck,” or “You Shook Me All Night Long.” Then, rock to Olivia Newton-John’s “I Honestly Love You,” and Sia’s “Chandelier.” Finally, you’ll be “Truly, Madly, Deeply” immersed in Australian culture with that 1997 hit from Savage Garden!
