Aussie Aussie Aussie!

We hope everyone had a great Australia Day and long weekend!Big congrats to Adam Goodes on taking out the Australian of the Year title. His win got us thinking about what other well-deserving Aussies were up for the gong. And considering we’ve just handed in another industry award submission (typical of us, we know!) we thought it was worth a sneak peak at who his competition was :)
Boy, oh boy - weren't we blown away by the calibre of compatriots up for nomination! Scrolling through the large list of extraordinary Aussies working for the greater good of others, our wonderful nation and indeed the world – we were struck by the profile of social pioneer Daniel Flynn. Flynn founded Thankyou Water, a cause empowering us to fund safe water projects worldwide through the sale of bottled H20.
Flicking over to the brand's website, we were pleasantly pleased to see how far Flynn’s initial project has come, which is now - after just half a decade, a fully-fledged international movement. To date, the business has contributed to more than 100 water projects across nine countries and assisted over 60,000 people with safe water access – brilliant!
Now known as the Thankyou Group, the company has expanded its product range to include food and body care products, available in most major supermarkets, in order to fund food and hygiene projects.

Straya Day Sam the Lamb Man is back again

*All of you 'give meat-a-miss types' should look away now!*

And he’s back…Sam Kekovich has a lamb chop in hand and he’s taking his message to our nation’s younger people. The Lambassador is hoping that by educating our ankle-bitters, Australia’s national meat will not be forgotten.
Sam bemoans the perils of a lamb-less life, encouraging the wiser meat-lovers amongst us to take charge and make sure lamb is at the top of everyone's BBQ shopping list for January 26.

Another witty and verbally-entertaining piece for Sam fans to feast on….



McCormicks Foods Australia have enlisted Sam’s help to promote its Australia Day promotion – giving away a daily prize offer that includes a Weber BBQ and McCormick BBQing pack during January….perfect for those lamb chops, eh?
