AHP-141-History of Australia Day
from Aussie History Podcast · host James Dampier
Australia Day is celebrated on 26 January each year. But how much do you really know about the history of Australia Day? 26 January is not the date the First Fleet arrived in Sydney Harbour, nor is it the day the Colony of NSW was proclaimed. And it may surprise you that the first public holiday to be actually called Australia Day was held on 30 July, not 26 January.
