Do you celebrate Australia day on the wrong day?

Not really. Australia Day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in New South Wales on 26 January 1788. It is the date that Captain Arthur Phillip raised the British flag and thereby claimed the entire east coast of Australia for Great Britain. Some may think Australia Day should actually be celebrated on 18 January, as this is when the First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay. However, the fleet did not stay there and the convicts did not disembark.
