Get a taste of the Australian culture you've been missing with a Homegrown Holiday!

Hi John, If the only culture you’re getting lately is coming from that sourdough starter that is stinking out your butlers pantry, then you need an escape ASAP. And we’re talking further than just your outdoor patio. You need to go and explore, immerse yourself in food, wine and nature, rub shoulders with the locals, contribute to an economy and observe local customs. You need to go somewhere you can throw yourself into the great Australian CULTURE! That means you need a homegrown holiday and you need it now. Well, at least you need to plan it now to a) take your mind off that at-home workout you think you should be doing, and b) because we can’t actually go too far just yet. No Susan, visiting the park without having to do squats and situps is not what we consider a holiday. So, take your mind off the Netflix account and newfound pantry organisation and instead read on for some hot homegrown holiday ideas that will be sure to give you a taste of that great Australian culture you’ve been missing (while hiding within your own four walls). |
