I come from the land down under... No I don't it's just a song.

In our text book on page 640, the book explains that, Australia Day celebrates when the first fleet came to Australia with 750 prisoners.  These prisoners arrived on January 26, 1788, in Botany Bay.  There are many activities that happen on this present day holiday.  Some of these activities will include the racing of the Dunny, horse racing, swimming and cockroaches.  A dunny race is when a team of four people pull an outhouse, aka the dunny, across a 250 meter track.  People will also try to set a world record for the number of people simultaneously floats on huge inflatable thongs.  Which literally are like the thongs you wear on your feet, they are just huge and inflatable.  Every city in Australia has this huge celebration however, Perth is always the last one to end the holiday celebrations with their huge firework display.

Immigration is a big issue in Australia, there is a lot of racism throughout the country.  There is an abundance of Asian migration into Australia according to the article and the textbook on page 646.  There is an average of 1 out of every 10 people in Australia are racist against the different cultures coming into Australia such as the Asian and Indian people.  Because of this racism there is a lot of alcohol consumption and there is also a lot of violent behavior.  There are parts of the country where only 40% of the people that live in heavily immigrated areas that they feel safe walking in the dark.  Australia is currently experiencing their largest amount of incoming migration in the history of Australia.
