As per Wikipedia, Australia Day is considered as the official National Day of Australia and is celebrated annually every 26th of January. It also marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and also the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip.
