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.
