November 2026
No — there is no November long weekend anywhere in Australia this year.
Not one state or territory has a public holiday that makes a long weekend in November 2026. That is a real answer rather than a gap in this page — the dates below either side of it are the nearest you will get.
The nearest long weekends either side
| When | Where | Dates | Because of |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before | SA | Sat 3 Oct – Mon 5 Oct | Labour Day |
| After | ACT | Fri 25 Dec – Mon 28 Dec | Christmas Day, Boxing Day and Additional public holiday for Boxing Day |
Australia's public holidays cluster around Easter, midwinter and Christmas, and the gaps between those clusters are genuinely empty. If you are planning leave, the two rows above are where the cheap days are.
November 2027
No long weekend anywhere in November 2027 either, on the dates gazetted so far.
How these are worked out
Measured from the gazetted dates, not from the holiday's name
A long weekend here means three or more days in a row with no working day in the middle — a weekend plus at least one public holiday touching it. It is computed from each jurisdiction's own list rather than assumed, which matters because a public holiday landing on a Saturday does not make one by itself.
Anzac Day 2026 is the case in point. It falls on a Saturday everywhere, and only New South Wales and Western Australia get a long weekend out of it — because only those two add a Monday. The same holiday, the same weekend, and six states and territories go back to work on the Monday.
This models a standard Monday-to-Friday week, which is not everyone's, and it counts only whole-day public holidays: an evening part-day holiday does not extend a weekend. Every date traces to the Act named on the jurisdiction's own page.
