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.
