Today is Australia day which commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet in Australia in 1788 and is a holiday in all states and territories of Australia. Around the country like here at Kingston Beach there were celebrations to mark the occassion.

The day is controversal with Indigenous Australians who see the date as marking the destruction of their culture and there are annual protests refering to the day as “Invasion Day” and have been campaigning to have the date moved to the day the Government officially apologised for past actions.
