Celebrate Australia Day with Sunrise Local Stores
Australia Day, celebrated annually on January 26th, is a time for reflection, celebration, and community. It’s an occasion that brings Australians together to honour the nation’s history, culture, and achievements while looking forward to the future. At Sunrise Local stores, we’re proud to be part of the tapestry of Australian life, supporting local families and businesses every step of the way. And who better to embody the spirit of Australia than our beloved mascot, Sunny the kookaburra?
Sunny: The Heart of Our Community
Sunny, our cheerful kookaburra, represents more than just Sunrise Local Store. He’s a symbol of family, laughter, and community spirit—qualities that are at the heart of every Australian family business. Just like the kookaburra’s distinctive laugh that echoes through the bush, Sunny reminds us of the warmth and resilience of our local communities.
At Sunrise Local Store, when you see Sunny, you’re supporting a locally owned and independent store. You’re choosing to back hard-working Australian families who are passionate about providing quality products and great service. It’s this local connection that makes Sunrise Local Store more than just a store—it’s a hub for the community.
A Brief History of Australia Day
Australia Day marks the arrival of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in New South Wales in 1788, led by Captain Arthur Phillip. Over time, January 26th evolved into a day to celebrate Australia’s unity, resilience, and multicultural identity. Today, it’s an opportunity to acknowledge the contributions of all Australians, including First Nations people, who have cared for this land for over 65,000 years.
