Holidays in Australia - What are they celebrating?


If you plan to travel to Australia at the recent future, it might be a good idea to refresh the holidays in Australia. Below you find a list of public holidays in Australia, and you will notice that many of them are the same as ours!

The New Year's Day in Australia is celebrated on January 1.

Australia Day is celebrated on the twenty-sixth of January of each year. It is celebrated on this day because it was the day when the first English colony was established in 1788.

Labor Day is celebrated on different days depending on the region of the country you live in. It could be either the first Monday in October, the first or second Monday of March or the first Monday of May.

Easter does not fall on a fixed date. It will happen on a Sunday between March and April.

Anzac Day is celebrated on the twenty-fifth of April of each year. It was created in memory of those who fought in wars.

Christmas Day is also the same as ours and landed on the twenty-fifth of December each year.

Boxing day is the day after Christmas.

Some other interesting festivals that include Australians celebrate Melbourne Cup Day, Proclamation Day, Canberra Day Queensland, Geelong Cup Day, Recreation Day, Adelaide Cup Day, Foundation Day, and the day of the picnic.

If you have been planning a trip to Australia, know when the holidays may help you with your business. Many homes in Australia are the same as those we celebrate in North America, but it is always good to know which ones are celebrated only in Australia, so you can prepare for fun, parties and celebrations Down Under.
