Happy Belated Australia Day!
About Australia Day
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.
In present-day Australia, celebrations reflect the diverse society and landscape of the nation and are marked by community and family events, reflections on Australian history, official community awards and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new members of the Australian community.
You’re invited to join in this year’s Australia Day from wherever you are in the world. Attend and log a geocaching event on January 26, 2018 thru January 28, 2018. Whether you have one cache find or a thousand cache finds, a local or just passing through, please feel free to come join us for a small meet and greet and earn a neat souvenir!
