Why is the Day named Australia Day?

Australia Day is a platform for the symbol of celebrating a united Australian identity. It is celebrated on this day in each state and territory throughout Australia. Hence it is not Victoria Day or Queensland Day. The Australian flag is prominent in most celebrations on this day or culturally people can use there own Australian symbols ... eg. The Thong or Vegemite or something else they might consider that captures the essence of being Australian. BBQs with friends on this day are very popular.
