I got the question about Australia Day correct but disagree with the explanation as to why January 26 was chosen. Here is a better explanation:-
"On 26th January 1949, the Australian nationality came into existence when the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted. That was the day we were first called Australians and allowed to travel with passports as Australians and NOT British subjects. In 1949 therefore, we all became Australian citizens under the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948. Before that special date, all people living in Australia, including Aborigines, were called ‘British Subjects’ and forced to travel on British passports and fight in British wars. This is why we celebrate Australia Day on the 26th January. This was the day Australians became free to make our own decisions about which wars we would fight and how our citizens would be treated. It was the day we were all declared Australians. Until this date, Aborigines were not protected by law. For the first time since Captain Cook’s landing this new Act 5 gave Aboriginal Australians the full protection of Australian Law. This is why 26th January is the date new Australians receive their citizenship."
The method by which folks celebrate the day is irrelevant to the reason.

Don't worry. Most Victorians probably think Captain Phillip landed at St Kilda in Port Phillip Bay on 26 January 1788.

So it's just a coincidence that the date is the same as that of the landing of Captain Arthur Phillip at Sydney Cove. Yeah OK!
