Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What holiday is celebrated in Australia on January 26th each year?

Australia Day is when we celebrate being part of our great nation. We dress in red, white and blue and wave our national flag. Some of us dress in green and gold, which are the international sporting team colours of Australia.
2. In Australia on this holiday, a bilby may leave a surprise. In some other countries a rabbit does the same thing. What holiday is this?

A bilby is a desert dwelling marsupial. It is a type of bandicoot and has very long ears. We like to think our Easter Eggs are delivered by a bilby in Australia.
3. Western Australians celebrate the founding of their state in June. What is the name of this special day?

Answer: Foundation Day

This holiday is celebrated on the first Monday in June. The founding of the Swan River Colony in 1829 is remembered on this day. Western Australia was the name adopted when it became a state in 1901.
4. What holiday is celebrated on April 25th each year?

Answer: Anzac Day

This day celebrates the soldiers of Australia and New Zealand who have fought in wars to keep Australia free. Dawn memorial services are held around the nation and wreaths are laid at memorial sites to honour the fallen soldiers of the past.
5. The date of this holiday changes each year, but it always falls on the first Tuesday in November. What is the name of this special day?

Answer: Melbourne Cup Day

This special day is only a holiday from work and school for Australians living in the state of Victoria. Melbourne is the capital of Victoria. The whole nation is involved in trying to guess the winner of this horse race and special lunches are held in workplaces around the nation so that the race can be watched on television by everyone.
6. This special day is celebrated in South Australia in December. What is this day called?

Answer: Proclamation Day

South Australia celebrates Proclamation Day on December 28th. This holiday is in memory of the Proclamation of South Australia as a British Province in 1836. Adelaide is the state capital of South Australia.
7. Each state in Australia celebrates this holiday in a different month! What is this holiday that celebrates the birthday of the official head of our nation?

Answer: Queen's Birthday

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second actually celebrates her real birthday on April 21st. In Western Australia, the largest state of Australia, it is celebrated in September. If one day we have a King, this day will be called King's Birthday.
8. All of Australia has another holiday in December, apart from Christmas Day. What is the name of this holiday?

Answer: Boxing Day

Boxing Day is celebrated on December 26th around the nation. The tradition of this holiday came from the English, who founded Australia in 1788. It is thought that traditionally presents (boxes) were not opened until this day to define the spiritual meaning of Christmas Day as the birthday of Jesus.
9. This holiday is celebrated by all Australians, but not on the same day! It is a holiday for all workers. What special day is this?

Answer: Labour Day

Labour Day is a celebration of workers in many countries around the world. In Australia it is celebrated in the months of March, May and October. Which day is a holiday depends on which state of Australia you live in. If you live in Queensland or the Northern Territory you would celebrate in May, like many other countries.
10. This holiday is only celebrated in Northern Tasmania! Which special day is this?

Answer: Recreation Day

Lucky Northern Tasmanians! This holiday occurs on the first Monday in November and is a day especially for families to come together and relax with one another. The largest city in northern Tasmania is Launceston but the state capital is Hobart which lies in the south.
