Australia Day is celebrated annually on January 26th, marking the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in 1788. This day is recognized as the official national day of Australia, and it is a public holiday across the country. Many Australians celebrate with barbecues, fireworks, and community events. However, Australia Day is also a day of reflection for many, particularly for Indigenous Australians. For them, January 26th represents the beginning of colonization and the loss of their land and culture. As a result, some people observe the day as a time of mourning and protest, calling it Invasion Day.
