The meaning of this 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, our remarkable achievements and our bright future. It also is an opportunity to reflect on our nation's history, and to consider how we can make Australia an even better place in future.

On Australia Day, over half of the nation’s population of 21 million 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.

Yet Australia Day is much more than barbeques and fireworks. It is more than another public holiday. It is more than the pride and excitement of new citizens who call themselves Australian for the first time on 26 January after being conferred citizenship.

At its core, Australia Day is a day driven by communities, and the celebrations held in each town, suburb or city – unified by the celebration of what’s great about Australia and being Australian – are the foundation of its ongoing success.

To have such great pride in ones country, to embrace and celabrate one's national pride with such enthusiasm is a wonderful thing.  Obviously, a lot of time, effort and genuine emotion was poured into this post.  Don't let anyone or anything bring you down.  Celebrate your day, celebrate the way only you Aussies know how!!

 

Everyone has a different way of connecting with their respective country and it seems the Aussie's are fairly unique in the way their communities unite on this special day.

 

Happy Australia Day!!
