Happy Australia Day

It's Australia Day, the day everybody celebrates the landing of the First Fleet at Sydney in 1788.

Well, the Aborigines don't celebrate it. They call it Invasion Day.

And many people in other parts of Australia don't care as much about it as in Sydney and New South Wales. For example, Western Australia was settled entirely separately and the First Fleet had no direct impact on that part of the country.

But still, it's a day for flying the flag, barbecuing, fireworks, and beer. And that's not bad.
