Second
Annual WH Australia
Day at Mahony and Sons
Tc7
VANCOUVER - Mahony & Sons hosted the second annual Australia Day on January 24, with an authentic Aussie barbeque, Victoria Bitter Beer and Bundeburg Rum.
Earlier in the day, members of the Irish Sporting and Social Club and the Australian Cougars Football Club played an Aussie Rules football game in a nearby park.
After the game, players and fans enjoyed the Aussie food and refreshment at Mahony & Sons Public House (the Mahonys are originally from Australia).
Chris Mahony said, "this year we had about 200 people at the pub to celebrate Australia Day. The Bundeburg Rum was a big seller imported specially for Australia Day. Australia Day is becoming as big as St. Patrick's Day."
WORKING behind the bar at Mahony & Sons are Kyle and Paddy Mahony (one of the Mahony sons who is wearing an Australia t-shirt).
BONDING at Australia Day are Babs (centre) and Stu Grills of the Vancouver Cougars Aussie Rules Football Club (right). Buddy on the left is unidentified.
