Australia Day, formerly known as Foundation Day, is the official national day of Australia and is celebrated annually on January 26 to commemorate the arrival of the First Fleet to Sydney in 1788. Indigenous Australians refer to the day as “Invasion Day” and there is growing support to change the date to one which can be celebrated by all Australians. (Photo by Darrian Traynor/Getty Images)
