It was the site chosen in 1788 by Captain Arthur Phillip for the establishment of the first British colony in Australia, which later became the city of Sydney. The date of the colony's founding, 26 January, is today celebrated as Australia Day.

January 26th, known as Australia Day, is marked as a public holiday across Australia, but its history is far from straightforward. For some people, it's seen as the date the First Fleet arrived in Sydney in 1788. For many others, including First Nations peoples, it represents the beginning of profound loss,

spk_2

disruption and resistance. Many Australians still assume the First Fleet landed at Sydney Cove on the 26th of January 1788. But the fact is they first reached Botany Bay on the 18th of January.

spk_3

The First Fleet had landed on the lands of some 29 clan groups whose country stretched across the entire Sydney Basin.

spk_2

This is Australia Explained, and I'm your host, Maram Ismail. In this episode, you will learn the history behind January twenty-sixth, why it became a public holiday in Australia, and why it is understood and experienced so differently across the country.

spk_2

You're about to embark on a historical journey guided by John-Paul Janke, the National Indigenous Affairs editor at the SBS and co-host of The Point on NITV. He traces how the 26th of January became the date officially observed as Australia Day and why its meaning continues to shift and spark debate across the country.

spk_2

So, where and how did it all start?

spk_3

Many see January 26th as a day that commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney in 1788 and the beginnings of a nation.

spk_3

But did you know that the First Fleet, a group of 11 ships, had actually started arriving in Botany Bay eight days earlier on January 18, 1788. Captain Arthur Phillip found Botany Bay unsuitable to establish the new colony.

spk_2

Later, Phillip and his party returned to Botany Bay on the evening of January 23rd.

spk_2

And gave instructions for the entire fleet to set sail for Port Jackson immediately.

spk_3

Strong headwinds kept the fleet trapped in Botany Bay, and the next day the crews were shocked to see two strange ships appear outside Botany Bay. They were French ships under the command of Captain La Perouse. On Jan 25th, the weather forced

spk_3

all but one of the ships to again abandon their efforts. The ship that succeeded was the supply. Early on the morning of the twenty-sixth, Phillip and his party rowed ashore. The Union Jack was planted, a little ceremony took place with only a few dozen marines, officers and oarsmen, while the convicts witnessed it from the deck of the supply.

spk_2

By evening, the entire fleet had anchored in and around Sydney Cove more than 8 months after leaving England.

spk_2

So, was this the formal start to the colony?

spk_3

Well, no, it wouldn't be until February 7th that the new colony is formally founded, and Arthur Phillips' governorship is formally proclaimed. The colony included all of Australia eastward from the meridian of 135 degrees east.

spk_3

This included more than half the mainland of Australia and reflected the line of division between the claims of Spain and Portugal that was established in the Treaty of Tortoscila in 1494.

spk_2

And of course, as Australia has now come to formally recognise, the land was not vacant.

spk_3

The First Fleet had landed on the lands of some 29 clan groups, whose country stretched across the entire Sydney Basin. The 26th of January was first gazetted as a public holiday for the colony of New South Wales by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1818, when it was referred to as First Landing Day or Foundation Day.

spk_2

The other colonies

spk_2

had different founding day holidays. By 1888, January 20th was celebrated in most colonies as Foundation Day or Anniversary Day.

spk_3

During the latter part of the 19th century, a group called the Australian Natives Association became a strong lobby group for federation and for celebrating a national holiday on

spk_3

January 26th, the Australian Natives Association was founded by and for the benefit of white native born Australians.

spk_2

And membership was restricted to that group. Many people assume Australia Day marks the creation of the Commonwealth, but that's not the case.

spk_3

What the people celebrate on Australia Day is not the coming into being of the

spk_3

Australian Commonwealth that happened on New Year's Day 1901, and it's not the first sitting of the Parliament of the Commonwealth. That was May 9th, 1901.

spk_2

Instead, the date marks the 1788 landing of Captain Arthur Phillips. Officials, Marines, and transported convicts from England landed on the shores of Sydney Cove.

spk_2

So, when did the name we know today emerge?

spk_3

It was actually during the First World War that the concept of a national Australia Day came about, and initially it was part of a fundraising plan for the war effort.

spk_2

However, events were held in

spk_2

July for several years. By 1918, some branches of the Australian Natives Association were referring to January 20th as Australia Day, while others still preferred Foundation Day or Anniversary Day.

spk_3

In March 1930, the ANA annual conference resolved to name the day Australia Day, and by 1935, most Australian states were recognising January 26th as Australia Day, except for New South Wales, which still referred to the date as

spk_3

Anniversary day.

spk_2

But the story of the date is not just about celebration - it's also about resistance. Three years later, in 1938, on the 150th anniversary of the landing, First Nations leaders organised a day of mourning.

spk_2

This was one of the earliest national Aboriginal civil rights protests. It was actually much later, in 1994, when the public holiday eventually became nationally aligned.

spk_3

Some states had a public holiday on the 26th of January, while others used the first Monday following in 1988,

spk_3

the states all marked the bicentennial of Arthur Phillips Landing as a public holiday, gazetting of the 26th of January as the Australia Day public holiday finally became uniform in 1994.

spk_2

The history of the 26th of January is long, complicated, and deeply felt. It's a date that represents celebration for some and mourning, protest, and survival for many First Nations peoples. As conversations continue across the country, understanding the history behind this date is part of a growing movement toward truth-telling.
