Hey Hey It's a Public Holiday on Monday

(Beautiful photographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth by Annie Leibovitz)

Most of Australia ( except for Western Australia) celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's birthday on the second Monday in June. It is also the opening weekend of Australia's snow season. This holiday is celebrated in several Commonwealth countries. Most of these countries also release a Birthday Honours List.

Queen Elizabeth II's actual birthday is April 21st 1926.
