Our biggest one yet. Over a thousand Australians took over Rockefeller Park for snags, backyard cricket, three hours of Australian live music and one very serious Weet-Bix eating competition.
Thank you to our volunteers, our vendors, our supporters and our sponsors. And thank you to ALL the Aussies who showed up and made it so much fun.
From 169 of you who told us what you thought afterwards. We read every single one — and we'll be back again in 2027!
Had a great time, hope it's on next year in the same spot!
Excellent day, well done!
It was amazing! Had such a great time
A brilliant day full of fun and entertainment. The only complaint is that it all went by too quickly! Such a wonderful way to catch up with friends and make new ones surrounded by the familiar flavours of home.
Great day to hang out. Loved having Aussie classics available.
Great event, good people. Great work in organising Josh and Julie. Appreciate you guys making the event free as well. Keep it going.
We absolutely loved it! The vibes were perfect, everyone was so happy and friendly. Very well done!
Congratulations Josh & Julie! You over stepped the mark & certainly excelled! Aussies certainly know how to pull an Aussie BBQ together!
Fantastic picnic in a beautiful setting. Thank you to everyone.
Kudos to the musicians — fantastic to hear Aussie music and made me so proud and homesick all at once. Love, love, love that all of you went to so much effort for all of us.
I loved the venue! Way better flow for the day, lovely grass area, and being near the water was an extra plus!
You did an amazing job! Love the new venue.
Loved seeing Aussie brands and even consulate present, truly felt like being at home for an afternoon
New venue was awesome. Bar in the shade was helpful!
A fantastic day! Well organised!
What a great day. Well done Josh and Julie.
Already excited for the next one!
I felt I was back in OZ… just the best atmosphere, best location and it was great to meet new Aussies and network!
You did such a wonderful job, Josh! We loved the new location.
What an absolute fabulous day! Well done to all the organizers and America Josh
