Australia Day celebrated amid 'Invasion Day' protests
Australia Day celebrations are under way, marking The Anniversary of the beginning of modern Australia - although thousands are attending "Invasion Day" protests instead.
A Royal Australian Navy warship took part in The Event , which marks The Arrival of 11 British ships at Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788. Millions are celebrating The National day with parties, parades or barbecues. Citizenship ceremonies have been held for 16,000 people, including this family receiving flags from Prime Minister Scott Morrison . Indigenous dancers have taken part in ceremonies marking The Day . There was a Tall Ships Race in Sydney Harbour. Australia Day is controversial - Many feel having the date on The Anniversary of British settlers arriving is offensive to indigenous people. Historians estimate tens of thousands of Indigenous Australians were killed after European settlers arrived. Campaigners want The National day moved - and 26 January to be called "Invasion Day" instead. The government has refused to change the date, describing it as A Day to celebrate all Australians.australia, indigenous australians
