Australia Day, as it is now called, celebrates the landing of the First Fleet. This was first held in 1791 in Sydney. By 1804, 26 January was referred to as First Landing Day or Foundation Day. From that year onwards, informal celebrations were carried out in Sydney, especially among freed convicts.
