Jan 26 (today Australia time, and tomorrow western hemisphere time) is Australia's national holiday (my first since aquiring Australian citizenship).
It commemorates the anniversary of the landing of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove on Jan 26, 1788, where they founded the first permanent European settlement in Australia, which would later go on to become the city of Sydney.
So to all our Aussie members, Happy Australia Day! (from the newest Aussie in the place)
