Public & National Holidays in Australia
It is essential for Australian nationals to understand the number of public holidays that are available to them so that they can plan their extra day offs. A trend is being seen in Australia that the public holidays usually fall on Mondays that prolong the weekend from Saturday to Monday instead of just two days (Saturday and Sunday). It gives the family to spend time together, friends to enjoy their trips for an extra day and couples to see each other and enjoy another romantic date.
