VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Australia Day is the celebration of the day that Captain Arthur Phillip took formal possession of the colony of NSW and became its first Governor. It was originally called Foundation Day, but has been known as Australia Day since 1946.

It is a national public holiday.
