What’s better than a Saturday? How does an all day and night party sound?
On Saturday 17
th March 2018, thousands of people around Australia will celebrate the feast day of Ireland’s patron saint, St Patrick. And with 30% of Australians having some Irish blood, that’s a good enough excuse for all Aussies to stop and celebrate with our neighbours.
