Australia Day!

Here's some facts about the Land Down Under. Most of these items would be known to us Aussies, but could be of interest to other Listers out there. (Not a serious fact list.) Australia Day is observed on January 26 each year. It commemorates the 'discovery' of Australia by Captain Arthur Phillip.
