In Sydney, the country's largest city, the date is commemorated with a parade of ships near the Harbour Bridge. There are performances by entertainers in Darling Harbour, where, at the end of the day, the best ships in the parade gather.
The evening ends with everyone singing Advance Australia Fair (Australia's national anthem) in front of the illuminated and imposing Australian flag that flies over the bay.
