Australia Day events begin across the nation, with flag-raising ceremonies and tens of thousands of people from more than 100 countries taking the oath of citizenship.

People are set to gather around the country today to mark Australia Day, with a mix of citizenship ceremonies and other celebrations, as well as protests, to take place.

More than 280 ceremonies will be held around the country on Sunday, with the Prime Minister welcoming 24 people who were sworn in as Australian citizens. “It’s an honour to share this moment with you and your loved one,’ Mr Albanese said.

Thousands of Australians gathered across the country in largely peaceful Invasion Day protests, as thousands of others became the nation's newest citizens and many marked Australia Day with traditional barbecues, picnics and trips to the beach.
