Australia Day 2016

Every year on the 26th of January, families all around the country gather together to celebrate Australia Day. Its the day that celebrates the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, NSW. But this day also marks the beginning of occupation for the aboriginal people of Australia. So some call for the date to be changed, chose a more inclusive date to celebrate Australia. But alas that hasn’t happened yet.

This was my first year participating in festivities and that is where I learned all about the history, but also saw some antique cars!
