Re: Ozzie themed leaving party...
Any ideas on good fancy dress?! 
I thought of having our leaving party 'ozzie themed' thinking it would be easy for all guests i.e. not having to shell out a lot on costumes etc... but now i want to look original & have discovered it's a difficult theme!!
Help appreciated!

Re: Ozzie themed leaving party...
If anyone lives near a Walkabout pub, they do kangaroo burgers and serve proper Ozzie beer.
Sadly, our nearest one is Liverpool. Doable in daylight, but you run the risk of getting bottled after sunset
OK am bracing myself for a backlash from liverpool folk now. Am NOT anti Liverpool, just anti scarring

Don't forget the Aussie food too, make some lamingtons, pavlova, meat pies with tomato sauce, Anzac biscuits, just check the web for Aussie foods to get recipes.

Re: Ozzie themed leaving party...
No, honestly, I do like Liverpool!! I work there and even my friends avoid that area at night as there is a LOT of trouble.
On a night out we start at Peter Kavanaghs in Toxteth and walk into town via the various bars (including the Pilgrim) that are along the way.
