fathers day 2011

When is Fathers Day in Australia?

Father’s Day is often a last minute rush and the least remembered of occasions in a family calendar. Nobody forgets Christmas or Easter and everyone tends to remember Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day but Father’s Day can get left until the last minute, with a rush to find a gift for your dad or grandfather. It’s not the best situation but it’s still possible to find an original and unique gift for your father.

In Australia, Father’s Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in September, which is different to when it is celebrated in the US and Europe. In 2011, Father’s Day takes place on Sunday 4th September. The tradition of Father’s Day celebrations in Australia stretches back for almost 100 hundred years. It is common for families to get together and celebrate with a Sunday dinner or family outing with gifts presented to fathers, grandfathers and even fathers-in-law to celebrate the day.

You know your dad better than anyone and you know that he probably won’t be satisfied with run of the mill gifts on Father’s Day.

Or perhaps a yacht cruise or fishing charter is something that would capture your Dad’s interest on Father’s Day. Break from the routine of getting your dad the standard gifts like wines, whiskies, electronic gadgets and golf gear – something more adventurous on Father’s Day is more likely to take his interest.

There are plenty of options to consider getting your dad into on Father’s Day and you are sure to find something he is going to enjoy as long as you plan in advance.
