Happy Australia Day :)

what does australia day celebrate?

Australia Day celebrates the day which the First Fleet started colonising Australia back in 1788.

So basically people go into the streets and scream and shout. Sing Australian songs, get drunk, throw thongs, gumboots, and "legally" play Two-up (which was outlawed long ago).

What is this Two-up you speak of.

[Snoopy]

It's two coins on a flat stick. You then throw the coins up in the air with the stick, and gamble as to how they will land. Two heads up; Two tails up; One up, one down.

It was played a lot during WW1 and is noted to have been played by poorer English settlers back about 1790. Then, as "schools" on how to greaten your chances of winning started popping up the and was later made illegal in the 1950's. Though it can legally be played on ANZAC Day.
