Background[edit | edit source]

Gregorian Calendar[edit | edit source]

  • The Gregorian calendar was adopted as the official civil calendar of Great Britain in 1752.
  • It was used for all government, business, and everyday purposes.
  • It was the standard calendar in Australia because it was the one used by Great Britain upon settlement in 1788.

Aboriginal Calendars[edit | edit source]

  • Calendars used by aboriginal populations of Australia are diverse and varied systems typically based on observations of natural phenomena.
  • They reflected local environmental changes, seasonal cycles, and astronomical events.
  • Because these systems are highly localized, there is no single "Australian Aboriginal calendar."
