The Ireland Australia Association have served us with advance notice that they’ll be marking their national day with the Aussie Icons Party, a fun-filled celebration of ‘Straya and all things good from the land down under.
Expect Russell Crowe mullets and Crowded House dancing to be very much in vogue, while fancy dress ranging from Kangaroo to Kylie to Dame Edna is actively encouraged, but not compulsory.
The iconic Aussie shindig kicks off at 6pm on Sat Jan 25th in The Oriel Room upstairs at Foley’s Bar on Merrion Row, and the organisers say that the party will only stop when they’re told to rack off sometime after midnight.
Tickets for non-members cost €30, and include a drinks token and some stonking tucker. We’ll have the vegemite sandwich and a pint of Foster’s thanks.
