Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
World Calendar Day
Boxing Day
The Test cricket starts at the MCG. The Sydney to Hobart yacht race starts in the harbour. The sales start online at midnight. And every Australian who ate too much yesterday is on the couch watching cricket they would not normally watch because it is Boxing Day and that is what you do.
Regional/Cultural Day
Kiribati School Bag Check Day
A day for pencils, forms, snacks, chargers, books, forgotten papers, and the nightly search before morning.
Regional/Cultural Day
Battery Hunt Day
A day for checking the remote, the toy, the flashlight, the clock, and the one drawer everyone opens first.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha Day
You encounter Saint Helena giant tortoises, wirebirds, and endemic seabirds on these remote Atlantic islands. You notice that islanders commonly keep dogs, cats, and donkeys as their primary pets and working animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
