Aussie Writer Salutes her Homeland

Aussie Writer Salutes her Homeland

Sydney-born Sharyn Bradford Lunn, author of the popular Australian historical series Southern Skyes, wrote this today about what the 26th of January means to her country.

Today, 26th, we Aussies are celebrating Australia Day–very much like your July 4–which marks the first European settlement in Australia. The First Fleet of convicts arrived in New South Wales on January 26, 1788. We are still such a young country, but we’ve much to celebrate. The fireworks on Sydney Harbour tonight will be spectacular as always. On the flip side, the day is known as Invasion Day by the indigenous population and of course they don’t celebrate. That’s your history lesson for the day.
