About Easter
Easter creates a national four-day long weekend from Good Friday to Easter Monday.
How Australians Observe Easter
Easter falls in autumn and creates a four-day long weekend nationwide. Easter Saturday and Sunday are not separately gazetted public holidays in every state, but the ordinary weekend still connects Good Friday to Easter Monday. The period often overlaps school holidays, making it a busy time for domestic travel.
