The ACT's Reconciliation Day falls on the first Monday on or after 27 May, and Tasmania's AGFEST holiday in Circular Head is in the first week. For the other five jurisdictions May is a working month, though a very late Easter can push Anzac Day substitutions or Easter Monday itself to the start of it.
