The Australian of the Year Awards

Some Indigenous Australians call January 26, survival day. A survival concert has been held in Sydney since 1992 to celebrate the fact that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island culture and people have survived. The Australian of the Year Awards happen the night before Australia Day. There's also a youngAustralian of the Year Award and a senior Australian of the year award. And then as you mentioned before, Australians all over the country celebrate or commemorate January 26 by getting together with family, going to the beach, attending live music concerts,. I'll pop another link to the Australia Day Council's website into your episode notes so you can search for events near you.
