Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Ok patriotism over... what little I have. Australia Day is the only true day for this country to be lazy and here are a couple of thing traditional Australians like to do.
Have a BBQ in hot weather for lunch and/or dinner
Drink beer until comatose
Watch whatever sports even is on TV
Spend time with their friends, drinking
Spend the day with family (usually when friends are unavailable)
On Australia Day I usually just do what I do everyday since I'm not patriotic. I prefer to embrace my mothers Hungarian culture, what little I can do but I still acknowledge that I am an Australian and I do like living here during winter, but the spring-summer period is just too hot.
