Ian, hate to dissapoint, but Phillip didn't proclaim NSW for King George III. Lt James Cook did that in 1770. Australia Day commemorates the landing of Phillip and the First Fleet at Sydney Cove, thus being the beginning of Eurpean settlement in Australia. <br /> <br />To those non-Aussies - we have commemorated this historic landmark by building a large ferry terminal and railway station. <br /> <br />Hey, a Railway Station as a national momument. Cool huh? <br /> <br />For the record, I spent it on a carriage behind and 0-4-0 steam loco on a narrow guage railway -one of only 2 regular steam journeys that can be taken in Australa - at Timbertown, Wauchope. And it rained!
