Australia Day
Well, it’s Australia Day. The holiday we have for watching the cricket and tennis. It’s also the anniversary of the founding of Sydney (the first permanent settlement in Australia) and the Rum Rebellion (the only successful armed takeover of a government in Australia, although it didn’t last long). Also, the Beument Children when missing, which caused the largest police investigation in Australian history. It kinda scared everyone, especially since the case remains unsolved.
Now, which one we are actually commenorating during Australia Day could be open to interpretation, but it is usually considered to be the arrival of the First Fleet, rather than the Rum Rebellion. But, then again, we could be commenorating both of them.
Anyway, happy Australia Day. Especially to all the Aussies out there.
And: Advance Australia Fair!
