Yes.

That would be "B" and Rose hill, although Sydney town was the first established settlement, but the first town other than Sydney was Rose hill, followed by Parramata

NP,
Sorry,
Both wrong.

Any other takers?

"Australia Day is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, it marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales,"

Got Rose hill wrong, think it was where Philip gave the first convicts their land, Sydney town was the first real town followed by parramatta

It's actually none of the above.
January 26 was the day the first fleet moved from Botany Bay up to Port Jackson. Which is where Capt Philip named the colony Sydney Cove.
I have no idea when the first beer was brewed in Australia,yet. But I will check.

Think correct answer is B, arrival of the first fleet & raising of the Flag of Great Britain in Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillips.

CONGRATS, DAVID (Supersparky)!!!
Give that man a cigar...

I'll allow 'Sydney Cove', although that was the name Phillip gave to the bay. (see below)

NP,
Had you searched "Sydney" on Wikipedia, read further down and clicked 'History', you would have read the following:

Captain Phillip led the First Fleet of 11 ships and about 850 convicts into Botany Bay on 18 January 1788, though deemed the location unsuitable due to poor soil and a lack of fresh water. He travelled a short way further north and arrived at Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788.[44][45] This was to be the location for the new colony. Phillip described Port Jackson as being "without exception the finest harbour in the world". The colony was at first to be titled "New Albion" (after Albion, another name for Great Britain), but Phillip decided on "Sydney".
Access: “Sydney” on Wikipedia

So the First Fleet actually arrived in Australia on 18th January 1788.

This account is also supported by Captain Watkin Tench of the Royal Marines (effectively, prison guards for the new colony) whose account of the new colony was the first to be published in London.

Your turn, David...
