If you were referring to me, I wasn't asking where Australia is on the globe. I think I might be able to find it.
I was asking about customs of the country ... why does one state have different holidays from the others? Seemed a legitimate question to me.
Rather like a citizen of Australia might ask a citizen of the USA, "Why does the state of Utah celebrate holidays that no other state does?" The answer being, of course, the citizens of Utah are predominately members of the LDS church, and celebrate holidays specific to their religion.
I was simply wondering if there was a similar reason in SA, Australia.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
