FATHER'S DAY - SUNDAY 5th SEPTEMBER 2010
Father’s Day in Australia is celebrated on the first Sunday of September. It is a day for people to show their appreciation for their father or the father figure that help to raise them and guide them through life. Father figures may include stepfathers, fathers-in-law, guardians (eg. foster parents), and family friends.
Many Australians celebrate Father’s Day by showing their appreciation for their fathers or father figures. This may be done in several ways some examples follow:
A day out in the park, at the movies, at a zoo, or another place of interest.
Handmade or purchased cards.
Presents such as food baskets, chocolates, clothing, equipment for hobbies, or gift vouchers.
Breakfasts, brunches, lunches, or dinners either at home, at a restaurant, or at a café.
Father’s Day charity activities, such as fun runs or purchasing special gifts, to raise money for causes such as services for the visually impaired  or research on prostate cancer.
Some fathers and father figures receive adventures or experiences as Father’s Day gifts. They may include a quad bike adventure, swimming with whale sharks, or abseiling.
This list is only sets out a few ways to show your appreciation but most importantly the one main objective of the day is to be able to spend time with Dad and continue and strengthen the bond of Love between Father and his children
