Australia Day is a holiday on the 26th of January
When Sydney Cove was proclaimed a colony
Although the day has some connotation
Of destroying the original Aboriginal nation
We now know that it wasn't terra nullius
But the British Empire grabbing land in a fuss
To remember this date as our history's say
For Australia it is our national commemoration day
But any date we would pick for this important event
Would have a negative point in the end of it
And we are used to this day in how it's placed
At the middle of the summer to enjoy its pace.
