About Australia Day
(http://www.australiaday.org.au)
On Australia Day we come together as a nation to celebrate what's great about Australia and being Australian. It's the day to reflect on what we have achieved and what we can be proud of in our great nation. It's the day for us to re-commit to making Australia an even better place for the future.
Australia Day, 26 January, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip, in 1788.
Though 26 January marks this specific event, today Australia Day celebrations reflect contemporary Australia: our diverse society and landscape, our remarkable achievements and our bright future. It also is an opportunity to reflect on our nation's history, and to consider how we can make Australia an even better place in future.
On Australia Day, over half of the nation's population of 21 million attend either an organised community event, or get together with family and friends with the intention of celebrating our national day. Many more spend the public holiday relaxing with family and friends.
Yet Australia Day is much more than barbeques and fireworks. It is more than another public holiday. It is more than the pride and excitement of new citizens who call themselves Australian for the first time on 26 January after being conferred citizenship.
At its core, Australia Day is a day driven by communities, and the celebrations held in each town, suburb or city -- unified by the celebration of what's great about Australia and being Australian -- are the foundation of its ongoing success.

About Spirit Events & Entertainment
We have two goals when we organise an event. Firstly, that everyone has fun. After all what's the point in putting on corporate entertainment if people don't have a good time? Secondly, that your corporate message is seen and remembered.
Of course behind these goals lie a lot of thinking, planning and organisation. Which is what we're good at! Just relax and leave all the arrangements to us. With hundreds of successful projects under our belt, clients trust us to deliver creative and cost-efficient events - tailor made to their organisation, promotional objectives and budget.
Whether you want to arrange a small conference meeting or tackle a blue-chip event just call us for an informal chat. We'll be happy to talk through your needs and discuss some ideas before you commit to working with us. That way, together we can ensure that the whole event goes off without a hitch and is an occasion to remember!
