I see they want it on Columbus Day, a holiday of which I was unaware.
Australia Day is also known as Invasion Day, so I have wondered for some time if such a holiday as this would happen on Thanksgiving.
But then I read on Wiki
>It is thought that the first Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony survive their first brutal winter in New England.[2] The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Native Americans.
