This year (2011) The Queen's Birthday public holiday will be celebrated in all states and territories of Australia (except WA) on Monday 13th June 2011.
In WA, they will celebrate with a public holiday on Friday 28th October 2011...........
but DID YOU KNOW.......the real birthday of Queen Elizabeth II is the 21 April (1926).
The Queen's Official Birthday, also known as "the Queen's Birthday" is the day on which the birthday of the monarch of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth Realms is officially celebrated rather than the actual day of the current monarch's birthday.
The exact date of the celebration varies from country to country, and only marks the real birthday of the sovereign by coincidence (the current monarch, Elizabeth II, was born on 21 April 1926). Most Commonwealth Realms release a Birthday Honours List at this time.
Have you booked accommodation for your Queen's Birthday getaway?
