Celebrating Australia Day with Ian Wright

Australia Day is an annual celebration commemorating the first landing of white settlers in Australia. These days there's fireworks, parades, arts, crafts, food and family entertainment. It's seen as a celebration of Australian culture and way of life.

The first fleet entered Botany Bay in January 1788. On arrival, however, the bay was deemed unsuitable and the transportation tarried 9 miles north, landing at Sydney Cove six days later.

The night the male convicts were landed, January 26th 1788, the Union Jack was hoisted, toasts were drunk and a succession of volleys were fired as Captain Arthur Philips and his officers gave three cheers.
