Here are South Australia's public holidays for 2010 (source: safework.sa.gov.au):
New Years Day-Jan 1
Australia Day (similar to US Independence Day)- Jan 26
Adelaide Cup Day (horse racing)- Monday, March 8
Good Friday
The Day After Good Friday (Easter Saturday?)
The Day After Easter (Easter Monday). Next year, I guess we get Tuesday off, too??
Anzac Day (similar to US Memorial Day)- April 26
Queen's Birthday and Volunteer Day- June 14
Labour Day- October 4
Christmas Day
Boxing Day (the day after Christmas)
How cool is it that we get a day off for a race? Businesses are also closed the day after Easter and Christmas. Very nice. I think America should definitely adopt Easter Monday.
Have a great night, everyone!
