Preparing for Australia Day: Courses to Celebrate Your Heritage

Now that you've finished your exams and the Summer holidays are here, you've got lots of fun to look forward to, as well as Australia Day on January 26th. People celebrate Australia Day in many ways, and in this article, we look at doing so by taking Wandr courses that honour our nation's past and present.

It's important to say that celebrating the occasion is not just about looking back. Instead, it's about understanding who we are today and how we might be able to build a better future together. So, stick around as we delve into the engaging courses that give you a more rounded view of what our country means to us and how you can contribute to improving it!

So, What's So Great About Australia?

Most Ozzies are very proud to be Australian, and for good reason! For starters, the natural beauty on offer is off the charts. From the rugged Outback to the Great Barrier Reef, Oz is a real jaw-dropper, and it's why millions flock here for vacations every year - and that's before we've even started talking about the lush rainforests and amazing coastlines.

Then there's the fantastic cultural diversity we have, as Aussies come from all walks of life - something that's always worth celebrating. Bringing together a mosaic of languages, cuisines and traditions, our multicultural society makes us richer for so many reasons.

Have you ever been to a food festival offering sushi, pizza, curries, Aussie meat pies and samosas? This culinary choice is just one way in which we all benefit! We're pretty easy-going, too, and our laid-back 'no worries' attitude can be infectious. Our island continent is also home to the world's oldest culture, dating back tens of thousands of years - so there's much to celebrate.
