    Summary:
    Australia Day Anniversary badge made in 1918.
    The tradition of recognizing Australia Day began in the early 1800s. What started as a day marking the first landing of Captain Arthur Phillip and the First Fleet of convict ships in 1788 evolved into an event where the colonists wanted to celebrate their new life in Australia.
    Australian states and territories once celebrated Australia Day on different days and it was not until 1935 that the current Australia Day date of 26 January was made official and recognized nationwide.
