One reason Australians celebrate past events is to understand their importance in our history and in the development of our country. Often these special occasions are marked by parades and exhibitions, awards and sports meetings. Sometimes there is a public holiday as well. Some of the important days discussed in Important Days in Australia's Calendar are Australia Day, Labour Day, ANZAC Day, NAIDOC Week, Mabo Day and Remembrance Day. We can celebrate these important days together. They give us a sense of identity, of what is special about our nation.Covering subjects from the Humanities curriculum the Mac Australia Topics books combine brilliant photography and visual literacy elements with authoritative text matched to students' reading ability.Text Type: Information Report & Reading age: 9.5-12 yrs.
