Australia Day, the 26th of January is our national holiday, which marks the arrival of the First Fleet landing in Australia and subsequently invading the land.
To the Aboriginal people, it is a day of mourning because of this fact.
In many celebrations now, the Aboriginal culture is of great importance and is respected, especially on Australia Day.
We celebrate what we have achieved as a nation and our multiculturalism. People become Australian Citizens, the Australians of the Year are announced and we have firework shows in our cities.
Most people spend time with family and friend having a BBQ, going to the beach, etc, because it is our summer.
