Reporter NICK OVERALL dives into the history of Australia Day.

"For many January 26 is a day of celebration, one of barbecues, beaches, fireworks and waving the Australian flag with pride."
"For others, it's a reminder of the dispossession and marginalisation of Indigenous Australians whose heritage stretches back more than 60,000 years."

"Zinnia flowers are bright and cheery, running in colour from creams and yellows to pinks and reds. Plant them in full sun, but sheltered from the wind."

Reporter NICK OVERALL spoke to Liam O'Connell, who wants to have his local skatepark upgraded and installed with lighting so more people can enjoy the space in Gungahlin.

"Lights would allow more kids to spend time at the skatepark, especially because they're at school during the day for most of the week."
"For those in the workforce like myself who don't finish until 4:30 or 5, that doesn't give enough time before the sun goes down."
