Astra residents and guests traditionally welcomed Australia Day with snags on the barbie followed by lamingtons and bonus cakes from Michele and Rochelle.
The lounge was decked out with flags of the world to celebrate our multi-cultural nation and the flag of Australia taking pride of place.
Our resident chef Kirsty did a brilliant job as queen of the BBQ and Pom Len tested our colonial history knowledge with an Oz Day quiz. Many a yarn was told as blokes and sheilas settled into the afternoon around the imaginary campfire.
