Bridge day check

Falls on a Friday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.

What the day is for

25 April honours the Gallipoli landings and all who served. Dawn services fill town squares, and trading rules keep the morning deliberately quiet.

Do shops and banks close?

Shops must stay shut until 1pm; after that most retail opens.

Getting around

Early extra services for dawn parades, then holiday timetables.

When it falls each year

Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
