Australia Day is celebrated on 26th January.
It marks the arrival of the British in 1788.
Many Australians enjoy backyard barbecues with family and friends, cooking up sausages and enjoying the sunshine.
There are also community events, like music festivals and fireworks, that bring people together.
On this day, new Australians often participate in citizenship ceremonies, proudly becoming part of our multicultural nation.
However, there is also a growing conversation about the date's significance, as it can be painful for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
It's important to reflect on what being Australian means today, embracing both our history and diverse cultures.
