Where I live, Mauritius celebrates theirs March 12. March 12 1968 was the day they finally got their freedom but they too kept the British queen as head of state. In 1991 they stopped that.

I heard somewhere that Fox Noise discovered that in some parts of Western Australia, they skip from the 3rd right to the 5th.

Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at that site by Governor Arthur Phillip.
