Australia is a heterogeneous country, but all Australians are united by some "family" raid on their customs to celebrate small holidays and memorable dates. The most characteristic festive dates, creating the usual rhythm of public life in Australia, include the following:

Day of Australia is considered January 26 - the national Australian holiday. This is a day off, which many are dedicated to meeting with friends, music events, barbecues, salutes and fireworks.

In the spring, April 25, the celebration of Anzac (ANZAC Day) takes place. This is the day when the country honors its veterans, the heroes of those wars in which Australia took part. Marches, parades and fireworks, without which this solemn event never fails.

Melbourne Cup - the most "famous Tuesday" of Australia, the first November Tuesday. The Melbourne Cup is nothing more than a race, a two-mile handicap in which the whole country bets.

Christmas in Australia, as in Europe, can be considered the main family and Christian holiday.

The birthday of the Queen Australians celebrated in June. Australia is a member of the Commonwealth and although it became politically independent from Britain since 1942, however, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom remains a monarch for Australians as well.

One of the most striking features of Australians is their cheerfulness and the absence of special ceremonies in communication. This tourist should not forget. Jokes on various occasions, nicknames and even sometimes insults are the norm here. The Australian is always happy to make fun of himself, but he does not like when a foreigner does it.
