The 26th of January celebrates and commemorates the British founding of Australia when the First Fleet arrived in Sydney, Australia, in 1788.  The Government also utilises this day to encourage people to become Australian Citizens if they have been permanent residents for a predetermined time, and they present the award for The Australian of the Year.

These days Australia Day is seen as a day to celebrate cultural diversity, reflect on the country´s history and lots of people get together for a typical Australian meal such as a BBQ.  The three essential ingredients to any BBQ are meat, beer and wine.  It is a country famous for its beer drinking, meat eating and wine making, so we thought we would share a couple of courses that are keeping with the spirit of Australia Day.

Bendigo Regional Institute of Tafe (BRIT Tafe) has a Certificate II in Food Processing (Wine) which will qualify you to work as a cellar hand in a winery and you will learn all about winemaking and the industry.  The wine industry in Australia is thriving and you will find many well established names as well as boutique wineries all around the country.

Charles Darwin University offers a Certificate III in Meat Processing (Meat Retailing) for all of those aspiring butchers out there.  Australia is a big shot in the meat trade and there are plenty of opportunites to work in this industry if you are passionate about your meat.

Edith Cowen University has a Graduate Diploma of Brewing to give you the skills to enter the beer making industry, another very popular enterprise in Australia.  If you want to win friends then this is the profession for you!

Happy Australia Day!
