Byron Bay – Activity Recap: Aussie Food tasting, Beach Games, Boomerang Painting and Sausage Sizzle – 1 August 2025
From trying classic treats at the Aussie food tasting, to enjoying beach games in the sun, it was all about fun and connection. Everyone got creative during boomerang painting, and wrapped up the day with a classic sausage sizzle. A perfect Aussie experience!
July 29th – Aussie Food Tasting & Slang Session
Tuesday was all about diving into Aussie culture – through food! Students joined others at Lexis for an Aussie food tasting session featuring:
Tim Tams
Fairy Bread
Vegemite (a brave few tried it!)
Lamingtons
…and more Aussie favourites!
We also explored Aussie slang, from “arvo” (afternoon) to “no worries,” and wrapped things up with a Kahoot quiz. Congrats to the winner, Sae, who walked away with a full packet of Tim Tams!
July 30th – Beach Games & Swimming
On Wednesday, we headed to the beach for some sunshine and sporty fun. Students played volleyball, soccer, and bocce , and a few brave souls took a refreshing swim in the ocean – a true Byron Bay experience!
July 31st – Boomerang Painting & Indigenous Art
Thursday’s arvo was a special one. Students learned about Australian Indigenous culture and took part in a boomerang painting workshop.
Boomerangs are traditional Aboriginal tools used for hunting, sport, and ceremony, and they carry great cultural significance. Today, they are also powerful symbols of Indigenous identity and connection to the land.
Students painted their boomerangs using dot painting, a distinctive form of Aboriginal art that uses dots and symbols to tell Dreamtime stories and express connection to Country. It was a meaningful and creative afternoon for all.
August 1st – Sausage Sizzle Celebration
We ended this spectacular week the Aussie way – with a sausage sizzle! There were smiles, sausages, and a few heartfelt goodbyes as we celebrated the end of a memorable week full of learning, laughter, and new friendships.
