favourite pastime of australian women

There are so many hobbies and activities to take part into these days, that it’s impossible to feel bored. With impressive TV shows, movies in 3D and addictive games, people can choose from a wide range of leisure activities to relax and enjoy life when they aren’t busy working, babysitting or caring for the household. How a person spends their free time tells a lot about them and therefore this is always an interesting topic to everyone. Hence, we decided to do a little research and discover the favourite pastime of Australian women.

Pokies

Even though Aussies’ love for pokies may seem stereotypical, reports show that a large number of people spend their time playing at sites like these. Considering the fact that software providers have developed hundreds of attractive land based and online slot machines, it’s quite impossible for a person not to find a game that suits their needs. Plus, as many pokie fans have witnessed, these games are cheap to play, offer tons of various themes and help them escape reality for an hour or two.

Entertainment Activities

According to a survey conducted back in 2011, the majority of the Australians (92%) were choosing entertainment activities such as watching TV, TV shows and movies as a way to relax and kill time. With impressive shows such as HBO’s Game of Thrones and hilarious movies like Central Intelligence (2016), Aussie women can easily spend Friday night at home screaming or laughing at the screen.

Water Sports

Living surrounded by ocean means that water sports are part of your everyday life. Australian women love surfing, wind surfing, kayaking, swimming, diving and pretty much everything else related to staying active and enjoying the ocean. We can also mention relaxing on the beach here or even playing beach volleyball under the sizzling Australian sun.

Road Trips

Australia is a wild and beautiful country, with lots of natural attractions. Therefore, Aussie women, and Aussies in general, enjoy spending their weekends on adventurous road trips. Regardless whether they decide to visit some of the best Australian road trips of all time such as Great Ocean Road, Victoria or the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia or simply stick to some local spots, adventure time is always welcomed.

Personal Time

Aussie women highly appreciate their personal time or time they spend by themselves. Some of the activities they engage into during personal time include reading and listening to music. Naturally, sleeping is yet another way of relaxing and having fun, so it’s another “activity” that deserves to be mentioned here.

Socialising

Hanging out with friends, inviting people over for a nice dinner or throw a barbeque party are also some of the most adored pastimes of Australian women. This leisure activity can also be combined with almost any other found on this list; thus, don’t be surprised if you notice a bunch of women conquering the ocean or trying their luck on pokies.

Family Time

Even though family life can sometimes be overwhelming, especially combined with a busy working schedule, Aussie women actually love spending their free time with their families. Visiting a theme park with the kids or playing football in a park are just some of the activities that can take their mind off everyday responsibilities and let them enjoy a beautiful afternoon with their loved ones.

Food

Food and everything related to food is loved by pretty much everyone; thus, it’s not surprising to mention food as one of the favourite pastimes of women in Australia. No matter whether they indulge themselves in a tasty dish or they try cooking a new recipe, Aussie ladies can spend hours in the kitchen and relax in the magical world of spices, flavours and scents.
