Captain Arthur Phillip landed on Australian soil with the first fleet of British Ships. He raised the British flag at Sydney Cove to claim NSW as a British Colony on 26 January 1788. This day marks the beginning of a long and brutal colonisation of our people and country.
Every year, we call on the Australian Government to declare 26 January a Day of Mourning.
Over 7,500 people across Lutruwita/Tasmania agreed in 2023.
Thanks to all who joined the rallies to call for an end of celebrations on this date.
