Australia Day commemorates the day, when, in 1788, British colonists arrived in Sydney Cove and raised the Union Jack. It is Australia’s main national holiday. And every year, it sparks a public debate about cultural identity, history and what it means to be Australian. The World’s Sarah Birnbaum reports from Sydney.
