Changed Public Holiday in Qld 2012


Just heard on the news that Queenslanders will be getting two Queen's birthday public holidays in 2012 as a one off, one in June and one in October.

From 2013, the Queen's Birthday holiday will be celebrated 1 October instead of June which gives us a long weekend in the latter part of the year.

Gday...

Public holidays don't have the same level of importance anymore since I  became a full-time traveller - except it puts more traffic on the roads, fills up the camp spots/van parks and often puts more ankle biters on the loose.

Unless someone tells me, I never realise when they occur.

Cheers

John

For me, it's handy to know when the long weekends are, in case I get to camp with my young-uns.

October will be good. Before this change, we had no public holidays after Ecca (Exhibition) Wednesday in August.

Re supermarkets, the only day they're closed in Qld now, is Xmas Day and I think Anzac Day.
