Sure, he probably could never make it to your PTA's; and he was usually too loaded with work to come for your football matches. But you love him still, don’t you? Father’s Day is the right time to tell him how much. Being in Australia just makes the task easier. Father’s Day in Australia is celebrated on the first Sunday of September. Follow these steps to celebrate Father’s Day in Australia.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Greeting Card
  • Scrapbook
  • Food including ingredients and recipes
  • Gift

Step1
Plan your day in advance. Think of all the potential ways to celebrate the day. You probably wouldn’t want to have a day-out with your dad alone. Neither would he. Look for a way that involves lots of friends or at least the entire family.
Step2
Make a check list of things you can do. Think of all the ways in which you can surprise him. Think of organizing a barbecue, a picnic or a family outing.
Step3
Start your day early. Fix breakfast for your dad. You can make something he likes but can’t have often due to his busy schedule. You could fix a typical Australian breakfast that includes assorted cereals, toast, fruits, eggs, fried bacon, mushrooms, sausages and tea or coffee.
Step4
Serve the breakfast in the way your dad would like it the most. It could be in the bed, on the porch or even out in the garden.
Step5
Choose a gift for your father with great care. Look for something unusual that would surprise him for sure. It could be a holiday he has been planning, his favorite gadget or even his favorite accessory.
Step6
Can’t think of the right gift? You can search for and order a gift online (see Resources below).
Step7
Think of an unconventional way to present the gift to your dad. Don’t just give it away to him. Leave clues for him about the gift and let him guess.
Step8
Take your dad out for some large or popular event happening in your city.
Step9
Treat you father to his favorite food. Serve it in the style he likes the most. Try to cook the food yourself to add a personal touch.
Step10
Plan a surprise bash for your father. Chose a theme that your father would like for the party. Call his friends and some relatives.
Step11
Remember that your dad needs appreciation, too. You can make a card, collage, video or scrap book for him. Acknowledge the role he has played in your life and clear any past misunderstandings.
Step12
Make the day special for your husband if your children are too young to understand the essence of this day. Help your children do something special for their dad.

Tips & Warnings

  • Include all the fathers and expectant fathers in your family in your special Father’s Day bash.
  • Take photographs throughout the day and use them on the next Father’s Day.
