Australia Day Celebrations



Australia Day Celebrations

Australia day falls every year on January 26th and is celebrated across the whole of Australia. It’s a day of national celebrations where all the Australians get together and celebrate this day with plenty of small and large events taking place across the harbour. Dress up in Aussie colours – by using clothes, face paints, umbrellas, caps, slippers, tattoos, jewellery etc. and be a part of the Australia Day.

 There are many ways to celebrate the Australia Day, as you can catch up with family and friends. Celebrate it the way you want to, either by participating in any event or witnessing the events or just having a pool, beach party or a barbeque party at home. Cook something special on Australia Day with some Lamingtons, Pavlova, koala shaped biscuits and meat pies or bake a cake in the shape of Australia. For children come out with craft items like platypus masks, koala stuffed toys, kangaroo cutouts which reflect Australian themes. Play it, watch it and enjoy some live cricket and tennis for the sport lovers. As for charity, donate funds or give gifts or sell at craft stalls to make the most of that day.

Australia Day Celebrations normally start off with hoisting the flag, singing the national anthem and many other ceremonies. In certain parts of Australia, there are ceremonies to welcome the immigrants and their citizenship ceremonies are granted in a festive atmosphere.

 It’s a day where they celebrate with community breakfasts, beach parties, parades, pageants, sporting events, concerts and fireworks displays. Be on the Sydney Harbour, on Australia Day as thousands come to witness the various celebrations. But the best way to enjoy the day is to be on any one of the cruises.

View the most breathtaking events such as Ferrython, Best Dressed Vessel Parade, Gun Salute, RAN Search & Rescue Display, Seahawk Aerial Handling Display, RAAF F/A-18 Hornet, Body Science Great Australian Swim Series, Floating Concerts, 177th Australia Day Regatta, Tall Ships Race, Darling Harbour Twilight Ceremony and many more exciting events.

  As we come to the end of the day long celebrations with a bang, finish the night off with some incredible fireworks. Many cities and towns have fireworks in the evening and Sydney Harbour is the best place to view the night sky light up with some spectacular fireworks displays. Relax with your family and friends and view the fireworks from a good point. Join any one of the Australia Day Cruises to view these breathtaking events on the Sydney Harbour and catch the action live!...
