26 JANUARY IN HISTORY:
EVENTS THIS DAY
1788 Port Jackson, New South Wales – A British fleet of 11 convict ships, led by Captain Arthur Phillip, arrived to establish Sydney, the first permanent European settlement on the Australian continent.
1808 The New South Wales Corps deposed the Governor of New South Wales, Captain William Bligh, during the Rum Rebellion. Bligh, known for his authoritarian rule, was found hiding beneath his bed.
1924 Melbourne’s first radio station, 3AR, commenced transmission, as an “A” Class station, sponsored by public licence fees. In 1928, the Federal Government-owned National Broadcasting Service took over all “A” Class radio stations in the country. In 1932, the National Broadcasting Service and the Australian Broadcasting Company, which had been supplying programmes, were merged to form the Australian Broadcasting Commission.
1925 Maroubra, Sydney, New South Wales – Radio station 2EU became the first “B”class radio station in Australia upon its launch. The “B” Class were predecessors to commercial stations. This station’s call-sign related to the station’s owner, Electrical Utilities, but it was later directed to change to 2UE because, over the air the callsign “2EU” sounded like “who are you?”
1988 Sydney, New South Wales – Over 1½ million people crowded Sydney Harbour to watch a re-enactment of the arrival of the First Fleet, 200 years previously. Meanwhile beneath the white cliffs of Dover in Britain, Burnum Burnum, Aboriginal actor and activist, raised the Aboriginal flag claimed Britain for the Australian Aboriginal people.
