What is Canberra Day?
Canberra Day is an Australian Capital Territory public holiday. The ACT Government publishes its date separately for each year.
The event applies to the ACT rather than Australia as a whole. In the covered calendars it falls on a Monday in March, but the stored annual date comes from the official ACT list.
Its separate key prevents Canberra Day from being merged with same-date events in South Australia, Tasmania or Victoria.
