25.01.2022 The Australian American Association Brisbane is a non-profit organization which holds events, functions, holidays, and commemorations celebrated by Australia and the USA. We are not a specific US expatriate organization, but rather our members are Australians, USA Citizens, and other nationalities. We foster the reality that the Australian-USA relationship is linked across both sides of the Pacific Ocean with common heritage and many ties. As our foundation is the Australi...an-USA relationship formed during World War II, our largest event is the Commemoration of Battle of the Coral Sea held each May. Today, the AAA would have held this important event at Newstead, however due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place this could not go ahead as planned Nevertheless, the AAA remembered the significance of the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the efforts of both of our country's service men and women by the laying of wreaths and the saying of prayers at the memorial on Friday 8 May.

24.01.2022 Friday 21st July, The General Douglas MacArthur Brisbane Memorial Foundation would like to formally invite you to our 75th Anniversary MacArthur Dinner. If you wish to be part of the AAA table please advise so we can make up the ten people.... Regards Janetta

12.01.2022 Hi friends! I am working on a new cooking show for Channel 7 and my bosses have just announced that they would like to find an American team to represent the US...A and American Cuisine. Any American's with PR here who would want to team up with a friend/family member to compete in a cooking competition? We are currently casting for a brand-new cooking show, focused on international flavours. The series "Plate of Origin" will be Sydney based, Teams of 2 self-taught home cooks. Each team representing a country and competing cooking cuisine from that country - compete to win a HUGE amount of money. I'm from Minnesota and I know a lot of other states have delicious dishes, but my thoughts initially go to Southern cuisine - Louisiana Creole, Cajun, Jambalaya, Texas smoked brisket, Mississippi biscuits... So many people say "what even is 'American Food' burgers? (well yeah but we can do so much more, someone show them!) note: Applicants must be Australian citizens or have PR and cannot be a trained Chef (we are home cook friendly.) Tag a friend who should get in touch. or DM me if you are interested in learning more!
