  • Well I think it's celebrated far too much in Australia: it's a Northern Hemisphere Autumn Festival, nothing to do with Spring in our hemisphere.

    • All our holidays are a Northern Hemisphere thing, apart from Australia Day.

      • Anzac Day? Melbourne Cup Day? and more recently and ridiculously, Grand Final Day? Show Days?
        Labor Day? I agree easter, xmas and the queen's birthday (which isn't even her birthday anyway) are northern hemisphere celebrations. Easter was originally Oestra, a spring festival and xmas was originally midwinter solstice, not even christian festivals.

        So called "Australia day" commemorates the invasion of this country and I refuse to call it that: it's either Survival Day or Invasion Day.
