About Australia's Public Holiday Calendar
Because Australia's eight states and territories each set their own additional holidays (such as the King's Birthday, observed on different dates depending on the state), the list here covers only the holidays common to the entire country.
Anzac Day on April 25 commemorates the Australian and New Zealand troops who fought at Gallipoli in World War I; it is one of the few Australian holidays that is not shifted to another day even when it falls on a weekend.
