How did you celebrate Australia day? Why do we celebrate it? What does it mean to you to be an Australian?

  1. As a family, we went out for lunch, went for a walk and went to festivals.
    I took part as a Girl Guide at raising the Australian flag at a citizenship ceremony.

  4. I celebrated Australia Day by having a small family BBQ. Just me,my Mum and my Dad. We celebrate Australia Day because Australia Day alone time ago was when Australia was discovered by captan James Cook.
    I think we are very lucky to live in Australia because shooting and using a gun for the wrong reason is illegal and some other country's have war and also earth quakes can not happen in Australia because Australia is not in between the plates of the earth it is on one.

  5. I celebrated Australia day at Queensland we had a water balloon fight it was fun Nikolas was there. We had a BBQ I ATE 3 SAUSAGE IT DELICOUS!!!.We Went to the beach and saw the volleyball competition it was cool one of the balls hit us Nikolas and I each got to pick up a ball because they rolled to us and then we had some lunch. When we went to the café there was a MASSIVE LINE we waited 30 mins in the line while Nikolas and his family went back to the hotel and played in the pool. We also went in a sauna and it was HOT they through the water around and the water hit us it was not that hot. THAT WAS MY AUSTRALIA DAY!!!

  6. I had a barbeque at my house and we invited all our neighbours over, they stayed until ten o'clock which was a little bit annoying but we all survived. We celebrate Australia day because we are Australian and we are celebrating our home land.

    And i think it is very important to celebrate Australia day as it marks the day that Captain James Cook found Australia in 1778

    On Australia Day my family and I went bike riding and had a picnic.

    We celebrate Australia day to remind us of the day that Captain Cook landed in Botany Bay. It also helps us to appreciate how lucky we are.

    It makes me extremely proud to be Australian, knowing that we live in a country based on freedom and peace.
