3 good reasons to get BBQing... as if you needed an excuse!

It’s peak BBQ season, and you know what that means - even more reasons than usual to fire up the barbie!

1. Australia Day
Saturday 26 January (and then a public holiday in lieu on Monday 28 January)

BBQ-ing is ingrained in our culture, so what better day is there for a BBQ than the holiday that celebrates all things Aussie?

The Australia Day BBQ has become a tradition. For those who like it complemented by the Triple J Hottest 100 Countdown, that kicks off at 10am on the radio.

2. Australian Open Tennis
14-27 January (finals Saturday 26 January and Sunday 27 January)

Our Grand Slam delivers two weeks of sizzling tennis action… so enjoy the women’s and men’s finals with some ‘sizzling’ of your own, courtesy of a hot BBQ!
