Come Walkabout Australia
KCRW teams up with Tourism Australia to bring you two great events exploring the essence of Down Under.
Defined by its Aboriginal heritage, vibrant mix of cultures, and the great outdoors, Australia is rich in tradition, yet on the cutting-edge of food and music.
Although the Daniel Merriweather and Good Food Live events are sold out, there’s still a chance to experience the best of Australia music, travel and culture, with free open to the public events from 10:30am – 3:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday.
