Celebrations are plenty on January 26th every year, but more often than not, venues are overcrowded and inaccessible to most visitors. Even public transport and private vehicles have a hard time on road, so is there a better way to experience the best of what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magisticcruises.com.au\/harbour-event-cruises\/australia-day-cruises\">Australia Day<\/a>\u00a0has to offer? Yes. Australia Day cruises is the answer you are looking for.

These events fill the Sydney Harbour with visitors every single year. On this day, you get to watch some of the most iconic events on Sydney Harbour! The Ferrython is a ferries race from Circular Quay to Shark Island and back to Sydney Harbour for a glorious finish! If that doesn\u2019t sound dramatic enough for you, there\u2019s always the Tall Ships race where historic ships battle it out in a race to the finish line! The Australia Day Harbour parade is definitely a sight to behold. Some 40 boats small and big in hopes of winning \u201cthe best dressed\u201d boat award, try their best be getting decked out in an abundance of flags, colour and Aussie humour! A $2000 prize pool makes sure that the sights are going to be a treat to the eyes! The RAAF flyover is also a major attraction of the day and this aerial manoeuvring display of aircrafts is sure to keep you on your toes! None of these iconic events are to be missed, but to roam around the harbour trying to find a good spot might take you the entire day.
