From Wikipedia:  Celebrated annually on 26 January, Australia Day (or Founders Day) marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British ships at Port JacksonNew South Wales and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip. In present-day Australia, celebrations reflect the diverse society and landscape of the nation and are marked by community and family events, reflections on Australian history, official community awards and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new members of the Australian community.

Since at least 1938, the date of Australia Day has also been marked by Indigenous Australians, and those sympathetic to their cause, mourning what they see as the invasion of their land by Europeans and protesting its celebration as a national holiday. These groups sometimes refer to 26 January as "Invasion Day" or "Survival Day".

While no purchase is necessary at this venue, any costs incurred will be your own responsibility.
