How is Australia Day celebrated?

Australia Day is commemorated on 26th January, and is the anniversary of the arrival of Governor Phillip and the First Fleet at Sydney Cove, to found a penal colony in New South Wales, as Australia was then known. It is celebrated in all states of Australia with a national holiday. If the 26th is a Saturday, the holiday is the preceding Friday, while if it is a Sunday, the public holiday is the following nearest Monday. There are public events in every major city of Australia. The most spectacular of these is probably the ferry race held on Sydney Harbour. There are reenactments of the landing of the First Fleet. Many local councils hold special events on the day ranging from picnics celebrating all things Australian to citizenship ceremonies for those taking up Australian citizenship. The great majority of people, however, simply enjoy having a long weekend, and celebrate with a barbeque in the backyard, or down at the beach if they live near the coast.
