About local holidays
Australia observes seven national holidays plus state-specific days. Australia Day (Jan 26) marks the First Fleet's 1788 arrival — a contested date Indigenous Australians call Invasion Day. ANZAC Day (Apr 25) honours soldiers fallen at Gallipoli in 1915. The King's official birthday is celebrated in June (except Western Australia, late September). Christmas falls in mid-summer down under — beach barbecues and pavlova replace the fireplace.
