Australia has been celebrating its national day, which marks the arrival of the first fleet of European settlers in January 1788.

This weekend, about 14,000 people from 114 countries have become new citizens.

"For this day, Australia Day, it is about celebrating our heritage, it's about pausing for a moment to reflect on how we best chart our future," Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said in Canberra.
