There are several national public holidays in Australia such as Australia Day, ANZAC Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day. In addition each state and territory has its own designated public holidays. The Queens’ Birthday holiday will be held on Monday 14th of June except in Western Australia where it will be held on Monday 27th of September.
Australia day is celebrated in every state of Australia. Its great to be Australian and on this public holiday there are plenty of events held around the country to celebrate.
The Queen's Birthday is celebrated as a public holiday in Australia. The date of the celebration is on the second monday in June each year. The real birthday of Queen Elizabeth II is the 21 April 1926.
Australians celebrate the Queens Birthday in June because if a public holiday was held on 21 April each year, it would coincide with Easter in many years and also be positioned very close to Anzac Day.
Christmas Day in Australia is often spent with family. Gatherings of friends and families centred around food - whether it is a traditional christmas lunch, or an Aussie style event with prawns on the BBQ everyone looks forward to this time of year.
