Australia Day is a national public holiday in Australia celebrated on January 26th each year. It marks the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in 1788 and Governor Arthur Phillip's raising of the British flag at Sydney Cove. The day is often celebrated with community events, fireworks, barbecues, and citizenship ceremonies. However, it is also a day of reflection for many, as it raises discussions about the impact of colonization on indigenous communities.
