Capt. Arthur Phillip raising the flag at Sydney Cove, 26 January 1788
Australia Day is the official National Day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip.
In present-day Australia, celebrations reflect the diverse society and
landscape of the nation, and are marked by community and family
events, reflections on Australian history, official community awards,
and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new members of the Australian
community.
