What are some of the national holidays in Australia?

Answer 1

Australia's national holiday to celebrate what it is to be Australian is Australia Day, 26 January. This marks the anniversary of the landing of the First Fleet in 1788, and the beginning of European settlement in Australia.

Another day of national significance to all Australians is ANZAC day, 25 April, which marks the landing of the ANZAC troops (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) at Gallipoli in 1815, during World War I.

Answer 2

Australia's national holiday is Australia Day on January 26. This date marks the anniversary of the landing of the First Fleet in New South Wales, on 26 January 1788. This day marked the beginning of European settlement in Australia.

Another holiday of national importance is ANZAC Day, on April 26. This day marks the day Australian and New Zealand troops (ANZACs) landed at Gallipoli. It is a solemn commemoration, unlike the lighthearted celebration of Australia's identity on Australia Day.
