Geared up for Aussie Day

25 Jan, 2012 06:56 AM
YOU'VE got your napkins, your sweat bands, your coolies, your hats, your singlets, your shorts, your glasses - everything you need to make Australia Day a real ripper tomorrow is on sale in Mount Isa.

Australiana is selling out fast and today is the last chance to stock up on supplies before Australia Day, Thursday, January 26.

Crazy Clark's which has had a good supply of Australiana have nearly sold out according to store manager Dani Buchanan.

"We were really surprised because so many shops have Australia Day stuff.

"Most of our items have sold out," Ms Buchanan said.

Most popular items were sweat bands, hats and the Australian flag which have sold well over the past two weeks.

Best & Less also reported excellent sales of Australiana according to assistant manager Jasmine Lewis.

"Everything Australian has been selling very well; we've been going through a lot of stuff," she said.

Australian-themed tee-shirts and board shorts had been the best sellers.

It would be nicer if all this merchandise was made in Australia. No wonder China`s economy is growing.

I for one found it extremely difficult to buy any appropriate Australiana for the big day. I've had to turn one of those cheap flags from Woolies into a poncho singlet thereby forcing me to desecrate an Australian flag. I found more appropriate clothing available for the Waitangie day celebrations. Absolutely disgraceful.

Sorry stan but i have worked in a retail store here for the last 7 yrs. You are obviously not looking hard enough, asking for help or your leaving it too late because the amount of Australia Day stock we get in weeks before the day is overwhelming. So its not a disgrace you obviously are not a very good shopper!!!!!
