What is another word for Australia Day?
Pronunciation: [ɒstɹˈe͡ɪli͡ə dˈe͡ɪ] (IPA) 
Australia Day is a significant national holiday celebrated annually on 26th January. It commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet of British ships at Port Jackson in 1788. Though the holiday is celebrated with great enthusiasm, some people question the date and its association with colonization. Therefore, some alternative names have been proposed, such as "Invasion Day" and "Survival Day." These names acknowledge the Indigenous history and cultural significance of the land, which precedes the arrival of the British. Another synonym is "January 26th," which simply refers to the date without acknowledging any specific historical event or celebration. Whatever name people use, the important thing is to continue the conversation and reflection on the past, present, and future of Australia.
