Australian thanksgiving?
do you mean Australia Day - 26th of January, when we get a national public holiday to celebrate the arrival of the First Fleet in Sydney Cove?
Indigeneous Austalians don't celebrate Australia day - they call it Invasion day - & some people in other states don't see any reason to celebrate when Sydney was founded (tho I don't hear about them refusing the public holiday)
