On Australia Day (26 January) we reflect on what it means to be Australian. We celebrate all the things we love about our country—our home, our history and our people.
Queenslanders come together to reflect, respect and celebrate on Australia Day at various activities and celebrations across the state.
Australia Day activities in Queensland are proudly supported by the Queensland Government in partnership with the Australian Government through the National Australia Day Council.
