Australia Day as we have always known it, is actually charged with conflicting feelings.
On one hand, it fosters pride in one's heritage ~ If one is of white angle saxon heritage.
But for the original custodians of this continent Australia Day is now being called Invasion Day because it marks the anniversary of the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip.
On Australia Day I always think of Burnam Burnam who in 1988, raised the Indigenous Peoples' Flag on the White Cliffs of Dover and claimed possession of England with the most amazing speech.
Including it now, as I think you'll like it: THE BURNUM BURNUM DECLARATION. ENGLAND, 26th JANUARY, 1988.
