Hug An Australian Day is an annual event that was founded by Thomas and Ruth Roy of the Wellcat.com website. Though the origins of this event are unclear, Hug An Australian Day has quickly become popular over the last few years, and is celebrated by sending the likes of greeting cards and e-cards to Aussie friends. Event ideas for Hug An Australian Day include listening to famous Aussie music artists, from The Seekers to Kylie all day long with a can of Foster’s or Castlemaine XXXX, or holding an Aussie movies day – beginning with ‘Crocodile Dundee‘, naturally enough. Hug An Australian Day shouldn’t just stop with just a hug for Aussies living overseas. They’re bound to be appreciative of a present that reminds them of home, like a toy koala bear or kangaroo for instance – or a DVD of great Aussie cricket moments Let's all go round to @Terrordales and surprise him. If we go in @Barry Haynes taxi we can do hugs galore
@Miss Rosie and I have powers far beyond those of mortal men. Please form an orderly queue from the right, one hug each, one small kiss (no tongues ........... I'm warning you @Barry Haynes and @snotty ).
It is actually a real "Day" - of course he might have started it, it does say that the 'origins of the day are unclear'
you can only say that if you've had experience of both ,and by experience I mean right up close and personal
