Bridge day check
Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
What the day is for
Marks the 1915 Gallipoli landing and honours all Australian and New Zealand service. Dawn services start before sunrise, followed by marches and, by legal exception, two-up games in pubs.
Do shops and banks close?
Restricted trading until 1pm in most states — shops and pubs stay closed for the morning, then open. Banks close all day.
Getting around
Sunday timetables with city-centre closures around dawn services and morning marches.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
