Australians and would-be Aussies joined in a celebration of all things Antipodean at the Walkabout Pub in Bradford.

Australia Day, which commemorates the landing of the first fleet that colonised the country in 1788, was remembered in traditional fashion with proper tucker and tinnies.

Manager Tim Velema, from Brisbane, who is pictured with Daniel Robson, had all of his Australian bar staff kitted out in "traditional clobber" which included "bonza" hats to keep out the Bradford winter.

Customers were treated to barbecued food, Aussie lager and music from bands from Down Under.

It was Tim's first Australia Day in Bradford, and he was determined not to be homesick.

He said: "We normally celebrate down the beach with some seafood and beer. It is pretty laid-back.

"This is the pub's first Australia Day since it opened in May.

"We definitely hope to make it an annual event. Next year, I hope to get a couple of Aussie bands.

"This is our equivalent of St George's or St Patrick's Day. I am not sure we will get any more Australians in here though - I think all the Aussies in Bradford work for me."
