Australia Day, also known as Anniversary Day and Foundation Day[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Day#cite_note-Age09-0), is the official national day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day) of Australia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia). Celebrated annually on 26 January, the day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Fleet) in 1788, the unfurling of the British flag at Sydney Cove and the proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Day#cite_note-1)
Australia Day is an official public holiday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday) in every state and territory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and_territories_of_Australia) of Australia, and is marked by the Order of Australia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Australia) and Australian of the Year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_of_the_Year) awards, along with an address from the Prime Minister (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Australia).
Records of the celebration of Australia Day date back to 1808, with Governor Lachlan Macquarie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lachlan_Macquarie) having held the first official celebration of Australia Day in 1818. In 2004, an estimated 7.5 million people attended Australia Day celebrations and functions across the country.
Australia Day is seen as controversial by some historians. Alongside proposals to change the date of Australia Day, there have been significant protests from the Indigenous Australian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_Australian) community. Many Indigenous Australians see Australia Day as a celebration of the destruction of Indigenous culture by British colonialism. Since 1988, "Invasion Day" protests have been held supporting this view.
The more you know! :eng101:

Yes it was. The empire technically ended in the late 20th century. You should do some homework.
