1 JANUARY
A new country was borm this morning when the six British colonies in Australia joined together as an independent nation. The Commonwealth of Australia, as the new country is formally known, is today holding celebrations in Sydney that are expected to draw 50,000 people. A new government, led by Edmund Barton, has already been formed. One of its first tasks will be to agree on a site for the new capital city.
