August is show month. Brisbane's Ekka Wednesday, the Gold Coast Show and other Queensland council show days, the Northern Territory's Borroloola Show Day and the NT's Picnic Day on the first Monday all fall in August, and every one of them is regional or Territory-only. New South Wales has its Bank Holiday on the first Monday, which applies to banks alone. There is no August public holiday at all in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania or the ACT.
