Venerdì parto per l'Australia
On Friday I am leaving for Australia
Literally: 'Friday (I) leave for the Australia'.

On Friday night I am flying to Australia, but because of the time difference and the very long journey, I will arrive on Sunday morning.

I have never travelled so far.

Arrivo domenica
I am arriving on Sunday
Literally: '(I) arrive Sunday'

If you want to find out more

1. The first letter of days of the week does not take an upper case in Italian.
2. You do not need to put any word in front of the days of the week when you say you are doing something 'on' that day. 'Parto sabato', 'Arrivo domenica', 'Ci vediamo lunedì'.
3. The names of countries take the article ('the') in front of them. Some are masculine (il Portogallo, il Brasile, il Libano), some feminine (la Francia, la Colombia, la Malesia), some plural (gli Stati Uniti).
