Yes there are a couple, such as ANZAC Day, Labour Day, and Queen’s Birthday. There’s also a couple of state specific holidays too. But the Christian holidays such as Easter and Christmas are the same.
Australia Day – 26th of January.
Anzac Day – 25th of April is unique to Australia and New Zealand.
The other difference is that we use the term holiday in two different ways. Public holiday is the US holiday. Holiday is the US vacation. so we have generally 4 weeks holiday a year.
