January 26th, Australia Day, marks the national holiday of Australia, also known as "Australia Day." It commemorates the day in 1788 when the British fleet arrived at Sydney Cove. On this day, the entire nation enjoys a public holiday with Australians often gathering for barbecues, watching cricket matches, heading to the beach, or participating in various celebrations. From sailing races to camel races, frisbee carnivals to outdoor music concerts, people across this 24 million-strong nation gather at beaches or join in festivities. Australians embrace this holiday as a celebration of summer, as well as the values of democracy, freedom, independence, fairness, and camaraderie in Australia.
