We had ours on Australia Day 2005. Have been to others since and it is a much more pomp & ceremony affair on Aus Day compared to any other time.
Be warned though, you will have to listen to an extra hours worth of politician speeches because of the day that's in it;-)

Well, AAF did get 43.6% of the vote in the '77 referendum, but WM got 28.5% so it's still a lot of peoples preference, despite what the 'official' anthem may be ;-)

Excellent - make sure you look nice - I had mine on Queensland day in 2001 and was filmed for the evening news that night! Wish I has been giving warning.
