All things serve the Beam
Ok, I freely admit this is a trivial thing to make a post about, and a sure sign that I am in dire need of life ... but ...
I was noticing on my calender that there seem to be holidays for "Australia - except SA" and holidays for "Australia - SA". For example, December 26 is Boxing Day in all of Australia but the mysterious "SA", there it is Proclamation Day.
What is "SA"? A province or state, I assume? Why are the holidays different? What else is different? Just being curious. Thanks.

Not from OZ, but have been there a few times................ I think SA stands for South Australia (a State, I believe).

We have different accents.
We don't have snow at Christmas.
We spell words differently.
Our cats have Australian accents!

G535 lives in "the Australian State of Victoria, AU" - another STATE in the Australian Nation;
The State of Victoria borders the "State of South Australia, AU" ...
Now, G535 ~
Does your "answer" to "What else is different?" point out
Differences between the various Australian STATES ...
or the differences between the collective Australian STATES as a Nation
and the "Other Countries" of the World?

It's the silly season.
I was being silly!
Our states are probably not much different to your states, we're still the one country, just have different holidays.

We have boxing day in Canada too... basically just an excuse to have the day after Christmas off... which is nice lol.
I didn't realize that Australia also had Boxing day. I always get strange looks here in PA when I say "boxing day" and I didn't realize that different parts of Australia had different holidays.
I don't think it's like that in Canada but I could be wrong.
R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.
