State public holidays
Each state and territory adds its own public holidays, such as Labour Day, the King's Birthday, Canberra Day or the Melbourne Cup, and most of them fall on a Monday, which makes more long weekends. This page lists national holidays only for now, because we publish state dates only after checking them against official sources. Check your state government's list before you book.
