I'm in Beijing. Does anyone know of a place where Australian supporters can get together?

Question

I know the Dutch have a Heineken House but is there an Australia house where Aussies can get together and cheer the team on?

Answer 1

Bring it Aussies! It's on!!!

Good luck, you guys will need it :-p

Answer 2

You'll probably find lots of other Aussies at the Olympics. I hear that's on in Beijing at the moment. LOL

Answer 3

Where does seem to be one but the link is very vague....

Answer 4

Contact the Aussie Emabssy. They are always putting events together and will be more than happy to tell you where and when the Aussies are meeting up. Also, call Austcham. I am going to an Austcham event tomorrow in Shanghai for the opening ceremony.

Also find the Aussie Expat groups at www.gochinasites.com

Answer 5

We all met @ Heineken / Holland House in Athens as there was no specific Australian House set up! But your best bet is to just ask other australians we have a habit of standing out in the crowd and we all enjoy a party :)

Answer 6

The "Channel 7" Australian House has been designed as the exclusive venue for all those “Aussie” supporters who are travelling to the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

So Exclusive we're only open for two (2) weeks every four (4) years!

Oz Lodge will be the only exclusively Australian themed social & networking site during the Games. We've taken our thirst for the distinctive and created the must attend event of the Beijing Games! Yes, we’re bringing the Green, the Gold & allot more to the ancient Chinese capital.

The venue will be an Aussie themed oasis that will include;

* Continual live coverage of the Games (Oz athletes/ teams) on 3 big screen’s;

* Aussie “Beer Garden” with Aussie grill, wine, beer and snacks;

* Daily & Nightly events including promotions & giveaways ;

* Oz themed Green & Gold merchandise on sale;

* Daily travel desk with day and overnight tours

* Daily prizes including games tickets

* Daily Happy Hour drinks

I am currently tracking down the exact address with my contacts in Beijing right now.
