1月26日（水）快晴
1770年4月29日にキャプテン・クックはシドニーのボタニー湾に上陸し、豪州の英国領を宣言。8年後の1788年1月26日にアーサー・フィリップが率いる11隻の流刑船団がシドニーに上陸。何故か後者が豪州の建国記念日となっています。水没していたブリスベンも水が引いたようです。(photo by SMH)
Australia Day
Wed. January 26 : fine
On April 29, 1770 Captain Cook landed on Botany Bay in Sydney and declared English domination of Australia. 8 years later on January 26, 1788 the fleet of eleven ships led by Arthur Philip landed on Sydney. For some reasons the latter has been set down as the foundation day of Australia. Brisbane that had gone under water seemed to have been dried. (photo by SMH)
