New Years, Ramadan, the small eid, and the big eid (i never figured out which was which but i do know the stories behing them), halloween (but i get scared lol).
The only ones that have significance for me are Easter & Christmas but we also have Australia Day , ANZAC Day, May Day ( Labour Day ) , the Queens Birthday , the Brisbane Show Day ...
ANZAC Day is when we remember those who died in times of war ...it stands for Australia & New Zealand Army Corps & dates back to the landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey in WW1 ....a total disaster but it was a turning point in the life of our country.
edit...For the benefit of my dear daughter below , the only birthday we celebrate as a public holiday is her brother's because it is on ANZAC Day !
We celebrate Australia Day, Easter, Birthdays, and Christmas....but we also have public holidays for the Queens Birthday, Ekka , Anzac day and Labour day....
