History of Australia Day

The Australia Day marks the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at New South Wales in 1788. The day also marks the rise of the flag of Great Britain in that location. Nowadays the celebrations haven’t focused on the arrival of aforementioned ships instead of concentrating on diverse society and landscape of their nation. The parties will be held to welcome new immigrants, and some of the communities will organize some family events on that day. Before 1901, Australia is a young country, and they occurred federation in 1901. Only after the arrival of British ships, their population gets increased.

In 1935 Australia Day was celebrated all over the nation except New South Wales State. The peoples in that state had called that day as “Anniversary Day.” From 1946 they too celebrated the day as an Australia Day. The day marks the colonization, but Aboriginal Australians sometimes feels that their celebrations exclude them. It was renamed to “Invasion Day,” and the protests were happened with side by side parties.
