Australia day is based on when the "first fleet" full of prisoners landed at Botany Bay.



That's when the Australian colony got started.



BTW, July 4th is when the US declared independence from the British crown NOT when we actually achieved it. Much like Australia day the 4th of July, is the start date of our national conscience, it's not the date when our sovereignty became a reality.



Once again you have a simple premise backwards..... WTF is wrong with you? :laugh3:

I didn't know any of this Renee, thank you.

There are many who wish to move it to January 1st, but the trite argument against is that we'd lose a public holiday.
