July in the public holiday calendar

July has no statewide public holiday anywhere in Australia. The only dates that count are the Northern Territory's regional show days, one Friday each for Alice Springs, Tennant Creek, Katherine and Darwin, and a handful of Queensland council show holidays in the north of that state. For everyone else, every July date is a working day, and the month is the longest holiday-free stretch of the year for most workers. The July school holidays are the usual reason to spend annual leave in it.
