Official National Day Of Australia, 26th January Celebrated As Australia Day

25 Jan 2013

Australia Day also known as “Anniversary Day”, “Foundation Day”, and “ANA Day” is celebrated annually on 26 January. The date memorializes the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788 and also the proclamation at that time of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia is remembered.

The date was declared as a unified public holiday in 1994 and all the States and Territories across Australia celebrate with much pomp and grandeur.

Some of the many events planned by Australians on this day are: outdoor concerts, community barbecues, sports competitions, festivals and fireworks.

The Australia Day is also known as Citizenship Day as many “Citizenship ceremonies” are held across Australia. In 2011, more than 300 Citizenship Ceremonies took place and approx. 13,000 people from 143 countries were awarded with Australian Citizenship.
