March in the public holiday calendar
March is when the state calendars start to diverge. Western Australia takes Labour Day on the first Monday; Victoria and Tasmania take theirs on the second Monday, the same day as Canberra Day in the ACT and Adelaide Cup Day in South Australia. New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory have nothing in March at all. When Easter falls early, Good Friday can land in the last week of the month. That mix is why a March date is often a holiday in four jurisdictions and a working day in the other four.
