Got leave to burn?

The planner ranks the best Queensland combos - like 3 days of leave for 10 straight days off.

Is the Royal Queensland Show a holiday for the whole state?

Ekka Wednesday is Brisbane only. Other regions get their own show day on their own date - check with your local council.

Why is Queensland's King's Birthday in October?

Queensland moved it from June to the first Monday in October back in 2016 to spread the holidays out. The rest of the country mostly kept June.
