Queensland Day

]]>
queensland

June 6 is Queensland Day in Australia. The holiday marks the anniversary of the day that Queen Victoria signed the letters patent in 1859 that created a separate state of Queensland from New South Wales.

An official holiday since 1981, Queensland Day is celebrated with parades, cook-outs, and by honoring the achievements of Queenlanders during the past year.
