Hello all here
we are on the 27th January the Australia Day public
holiday and being Monday I am doing five facts about Aussie Day.
Australia Day
marks the arrival of the first fleet in 1788
In
1838, 50 years after the First Fleet arrived, Foundation Day was
declared Australia's first public holiday in New South Wales. By
1935, January 26 was known as Australia Day in all states except New
South Wales, where it was still called Anniversary Day.
It
is a public holiday, and the significance of the day differs amongst
the nation's population.
The
first Australia Day: 30 July 1915. ... It was the original Australia
Day, a national event to raise funds for troops wounded at Gallipoli.
The date we now call Australia Day, January 26, to celebrate the
British settlement of Australia in 1788, was in those days called
Foundation Day.
For
some it is a day of family for some it is a day off work, for others
it is a good day to work and earn double the hourly rate, which is
why Tim likes to work public holidays.
Happy Aussie Day. sandie
