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 came together to celebrate Australia Day by joining in various activities and celebrations across the state.
Australia Day activities in Queensland were proudly supported by the Queensland Government in partnership with the Australian Government through the National Australia Day Council.
