This is the Story of Australia

On Australia Day we celebrate all the things we love about Australia: land, sea, sense of fair go, lifestyle, democracy, the freedoms we enjoy, but particularly - our people. It's about acknowledging and celebrating the contribution that every Australian makes to our nation. From our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people - who have been here for more than 65,000 years - to those who have lived here for generations, to those who have come from all corners of the globe to call our country home. This is the Story of Australia and we are all part of that story.
