EOTR™ are pleased to support the Austrian Club Melbourne by sending along a “Dirndl” to lend a helping hand and our favourite Mr Paparazzi, disguised as “Lausbub". There are a few surprise snapshots, but if you’ve heard this cheeky fresh quip (count to 6! in German for me) then chances are good that you’ll find yourself captured on film. Which event were you at?
Take me to Mr Paparazzi’s diary to see more…

Wilkommen im Oesterreichischen Klub Melbourne.
That’s the first thing you’ll notice about this club. Its friendliness and warmth. And the friendliness and warmth of its people.
The second thing you’ll notice is that the attempt to recreate the Austrian charm and to promote and maintain the Austrian culture is more than lip–service. It’s a piece of home…

This is your chance to register your interest:
The youth in Austria have spoken. They love it loud. They love it modern. There is a new breed of Austrian culture. The POP and Schlager culture.
OK, so the “Musik” is a little international, but it’s still predominantly German–spoken, or sung, or rapped, or… whatever you want to call it. With everything from Rammstein to Schnappi and from Michelle to Hansi Hinterseer.
All ages are invited. However Youth Night is expected to be predominantly for the young 15 — 45 yr olds (yep — still young at 45!) who can cope with loud music, energetic dancing and late night partying…
Can Friday Nights be Youth Night?

There has been talk of re–establishing a regular traditional Austrian Schuhplattler dance group. Dances like the Maypole Dance, the Watschentanz and the Laendler are not just fun, but also a fabulous way to keep guys and girls fit and flexible.
