We don’t celebrate it. I think if you buy a calendar, it’ll have the day marked in it.
As a nation we aren’t heavily unionized. Maybe it’s because we.would have just had a public holiday.
Aussies have a public holiday on the 25th of April to remember the sacrifices of our soldiers. The day is called ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) day and there are dawn services.
The day was chosen as the day of the landings at Gallipoli in World War I and was seen as a bit of our emergence of a country in our own right than just another colony of the British Empire.
