Queens Birthday Long Weekend
There has been much discussion about the Queens Birthday Public Holiday, celebrated this Monday .
This is not her actual birthday , which falls in April .
Many question the relevance of supporting an archaic institution , of British Royalty , and celebrating its leaders birthday.
The June long weekend (Queens Birthday weekend) is the opening of the ski season and this runs through to early October with late Spring skiing (if the snow holds).
First snows in Victorian Alps (usually) good for tourist drives but may not be enough for skiing.
AFL Football matches are played , on every day of the long weekend .
Munters , no matter what they do with their 3 day holiday , will be in a relaxed , party mood , knowing they have the Monday holiday to recover .
go to the footy
