From Wikipedia:

Australia Day is the official National Day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip.

This is the equivalent of the USA Columbus day. Australia will be economic rock stars if/when it breaks free from the crown and truly celebrates an independence day.
