D-Day
The day of the massive invasion of the beaches at Normandy is known as D-Day.

Empire Day is not recognised in Australia. Apparently, according to a small minority, Empire Day is the day some people celebrate their faith to the English Embassy, and is celebrated on the second Monday of March. However, 99 percent of Australians have never even heard of Empire Day, let alone celebrated it.
Answer #1It could very well be called that, since in all sense it was an invasion, rather then a discovery of Australia (as the indiginous Aboriginals were already living there). However this would most likely open up old wounds among both Australians and Aboriginals. So it could be called Invasion Day, but probably shouldn't.Answer #2That question presupposes that Australia Day will always be held on January 26th. January 26th should revert to its original title, 'Anniversary Day,' but with the added title of 'Anniversary and Reconciliation Day.'Australia's first day as a nation began on January 1st, 1901.Thus, Australia Day should be celebrated on January 1st and January 26th should be officially known as 'Anniversary and Reconciliation Day.'
Most Aboriginals don't celebrate Australia Day because they see it as a day of invasion and prefer not to celebrate it.
Australia Day represents "Invasion Day" for the indigenous people of Australia. For them, it represents the day white man invaded their peaceful way of life and set about to destroy their culture, albeit unwittingly at first. For the Aborigines "Australia Day" means the loss of their connection to the land, their spirituality and everything that was important to them.
