Australia Day is being celebrated all over the country this Sunday. In Sydney, traditional ceremonies took place at dawn in various locations including Bondi beach and Barangaroo. The Sydney Opera House was also lit up with traditional paintings.

Early risers in Sydney enjoyed an Australia Day dawn reflection service at the Sydney Opera House as the sun rose today. As the skies were painted streaks of purple and pink during a magnificant sunrise, the Opera House sails also lit up in an incredible display of Indigenous art.

Earlier reports suggested that more than 30,000 anti-Australia Day and pro-Palestine protesters could take to the streets in Melbourne’s CBD. Protests are set to begin from 9am in Brisbane’s Queen’s Garden,
