 For the past few years, we've celebrated Australia Day with an epic game of backyard cricket thanks to our great mates at John Boston Beer.

But this year we're moving UP, which means that today's the day you get to have a barbie and a bat from a city rooftop.

We're ready to go and we know you're ready to go, so here's what you need to know.
