Australia Day 2015 was officially the biggest ever on Twitter with hundreds of thousands of #AustraliaDay Tweets sent about our national day. These Tweets are now a part of history to be stored in the Twitter Time Capsule on exhibit at the National Museum of Australia (@NMA) in Canberra.
Celebrations kicked off in Canberra where @RosieBatty1 was named Australian of the Year and @TonyAbbottMHR snapped his first selfie!
Thousands of well wishes came in from celebrities across the globe:

Thank you to everyone who made this the biggest #AustraliaDay on Twitter yet!
