The COVID-19 crisis may have curtailed some of the more flamboyant January 26 celebrations, but this yearâs Australia Day still offers an opportunity to celebrate, reflect and debate what it means to be Australian.
A number of Sydney councils have cancelled Australia Day events and the state government will not stage events on Sydney Harbour such as the ferrython, Tall Ships race and tug and yacht ballet.
But Andrew Parker, chairman of the Australia Day Council of NSW, said January 26 will still be a busy day beginning with the WugulOra morning ceremony at Barangaroo Reserve.
