National Crate Day is an unofficial holiday in New Zealand held on the first Saturday of
summer every year to celebrate the weather warming up by sharing a crate of
beer with your mates , whacking some
meat on the
barbie, playing some highly competitive backyard
cricket, and listening to The Rock radio station VERY LOUDLY.
