First Nations projections by Pitjantjara Artist David Miller appear on the sails of the Sydney Opera House on January 26, 2022 in Sydney, Australia. The artwork tells the story of the song line of the Wati Ngintaka (the giant perentie lizard man) as he searches for a special grindstone, creating waterholes and food sources in his travels. 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.
