Australia Day Prawns on the Barbie

It’s that time of year where we celebrate everything that makes Australia great. Our freedom, our safety, our family and friendships,  our beautiful wide land, our fresh local food which keeps us healthy.

Here in Busselton we have the beautiful beaches and clean waters of Geographe Bay and lovely warm days to head out and relax with friends and family this weekend.Almost all of us will have a BBQ at least once over the three days and Prawns are pretty standard fare on this Australia Day weekend.

We have delicious large King Prawns for  Australia Day, ready to throw on the barbie  – just like Paul Hogan  – or ready cooked. At a great price.
