Start the day off right by grabbing a pie at this popular food truck making their way around downtown Vancouver. Specializing in Australian-style pies, this eatery on wheels is a must. Their Aussie Pie is made with chunks of free range BC beef and onion in a pepper gravy made with Howe Sound Rail Ale. They have lots of other pie options and salads to choose from.

It’s no secret that a big reason why Australian’s come to Vancouver is to ski and snowboard. So why not hit the slopes at one of our beautiful mountains soaking up the beautiful weather and fresh powder. Any Aussie would approve of this decision.

A classic. Vancouver’s favourite Aussie bar and grill is non-negotiable on Australia Day. With Australian beers, unique pub grub (kangaroo burgers and meat pies), this place is all about Australia. And they even stream Aussie sports and have trivia nights. Stop by 830 West Pender Street.
