THE PENNY MAN
L’Australia Day (le «Jour de l'Australie»), parfois nommé Anniversary Day, Invasion Day ou Foundation Day, est la fête nationale australienne.
Australia Day (anciennement Anniversary Day, jour de la Fondation et ANA Day) est la Journée nationale officielle de l'Australie. Célébrée chaque année le 26 janvier, la date commémore l'arrivée de la première flotte européenne à Sydney Cove en 1788 et la proclamation, à l'époque, de la souveraineté britannique sur la côte est de la Nouvelle-Hollande. Bien qu'il n'était pas connu comme le jour de l'Australie jusqu'à plus d'un siècle plus tard, les dossiers de célébrations qui datent du 26 janvier remontent à 1808, avec la première célébration officielle de la formation de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud en 1818. Il est actuellement un jour férié public dans chaque État et territoire australien et est marqué par la présentation de l'Australian of the Year Awards (en), annonçant la liste d'honneurs pour l'ordre d'Australie et les adresses du gouverneur général et premier ministre. Avec les cérémonies de citoyenneté, des concerts et des festivals communautaires, la journée est célébrée dans les grandes et petites collectivités et les villes autour de la nation. Australia Day est devenu le plus grand événement civique annuel en Australie. La date est controversée par une partie de la population australienne, particulièrement venant du patrimoine autochtone, menant à l'utilisation d'autres noms, tels que le jour de l'Invasion et le jour de la survie. Propositions ont été faites pour modifier la date du jour de l'Australie, mais celles-ci n'ont pas réussi à obtenir un large soutien public.

Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and raising of the Flag of Great Britain at that site by Governor Arthur Phillip. In present-day Australia, celebrations reflect the diverse society and landscape of the nation, and are marked by community and family events, reflections on Australian history, official community awards, and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new immigrants into the Australian community.
The meaning and significance of Australia Day has evolved over time. Unofficially, or historically, the date has also been variously named "Anniversary Day", "Invasion Day", "Foundation Day", and "ANA Day". 26 January 1788 marked the proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia (then known as New Holland). Although it was not known as Australia Day until over a century later, records of celebrations on 26 January date back to 1808, with the first official celebration of the formation of New South Wales held in 1818. On New Years Day 1901, the British colonies of Australia formed a Federation, marking the birth of modern Australia. A national day of unity and celebration was looked for. It was not until 1935 that all Australian states and territories had adopted use of the term "Australia Day" to mark the date, and not until 1994 that the date was consistently marked by a public holiday on that day by all states and territories.
In contemporary Australia, the holiday is marked by the presentation of the Australian of the Year Awards on Australia Day Eve, announcement of the Australia Day Honours list and addresses from the Governor-General and Prime Minister. It is an official public holiday in every state and territory of Australia, unless it falls on a weekend in which case the following Monday becomes a public holiday instead. With community festivals, concerts and citizenship ceremonies, the day is celebrated in large and small communities and cities around the nation. Australia Day has become the biggest annual civic event in Australia.
