June means AFL, State of Origin, and the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere. For those who dream of a white Christmas, now is your chance with Christmas in Winter parties.
- Queensland Day! Celebrate with a tropical Hawaiian theme and pineapples.
- 5 June is World Environment Day.
- 8 June is World Oceans Day
- 17 June is World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought
- 18 June is Sustainable Gastronomy Day. Party food doesn’t have to mean extravagance and waste. Some of the best food is made using local ingredients well. Issue a challenge to your guests to bring a plate of sustainable food to the party and say why it is sustainable. Swap ideas and recipes – and tips for reducing food waste.
- Winter solstice – the shortest day of the year. In 2016, it is June 20th in the southern hemisphere.
