I see this claim a lot, but it can't be more celebrated than starting a new year, can it? Do you have a source for it?

I feel that if Australia day were pitched as a "semi-independence from Britain" type holiday it would go over a lot better than it currently dues with the ongoing counter-pitch of "Isn't Invasion Day more accurate?" Sadly I doubt Britain would agree.

True but the US version is the most hollow since it was the British colonists who gained their independence rather than the indigenous population
