Australia Day, which is celebrated on January 26 every year, commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in New South Wales on 26 January 1788. This was a significant date because it marked the beginning of European settlement in and colonisation of Australia.
Many Australians do not actually realise the significance of Australia Day, having misconceptions about why we have Australia Day (such as thinking it is when James Cook first landed on Australia's shores). Many Australians are just happy to have a day off work.
