M ore!
No info for school holidays in WA, Tasmania or N.T. I don’t have children at school, but school often influence my clinic activities. I am sure others would also find the dates helpful. Even just for someone visiting one of these states wishing to ovoid school hols so that accommodation, etc is easier.
Cheers
If you or anyone else has these dates, I’ll be happy to add them into the calendar – THANKS FOR THE TIP!
