The Australian Bicentenary was a significant event in the history of Australia, which celebrated the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in New South Wales in 1788. The Bicentenary celebrations took place throughout the year 1988 and included a wide range of events and activities. The Bicentenary celebrations were planned and organized by the Australian Bicentennial Authority, which was established by the Australian government in 1980. The Authority was responsible for coordinating a range of events and initiatives that aimed to celebrate the history, achievements, and diversity of Australia's people and culture.
