There is a well known phrase that the rest of the world affiliates with Australia: let's put some shrimp on the barbie. It turns out, there is a multitude of barbies all around Perth. If you go to the beaches, people will have coolers filled with beer and grillables. When you are tossing a ball around in the park, more likely than not, there will be a bunch of people with sausages or roo patties grilling away. It is truly a cultural experience and I am a strong advocate of it.
Lets not be fooled, these are not the common barbecue we know and love in the US, Instead of charcoal or propane burning beneath steel grates, there is a solid, concave metal plate that has a drainage hole in the center. To heat the plate, the only thing necessary to do is press and hold a green button until it beeps and begins to electronically heat itself. there are no heat settings, only on and off. The simplicity of the entire production is incredibly enticing. So please, I urge you, go out and barbecue with some friends or loved ones. Make it a communal "thing". What else in this world is more important than friends and family?
