Australia Day!

Australia Day, 26 January, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip, in 1788 . Though 26 January marks this specific event, today Australia Day celebrations reflect contemporary Australia: our diverse society and landscape, On Australia Day we come together as a nation to celebrate what's great about Australia and being Australian




On Australia Day, many people attend either an organised community event, or get together with family and friends with the intention of celebrating our national day. Many more spend the public holiday relaxing with family and friends at the beach, playing cricket or going to the movies (air conditioning!)

Pull on your thongs [flip flops], chill the beer and kick back with us! Cheers, mate!
