Exciting to see so many long weekends in 2025! I’m definitely marking my calendar for the April and December breaks, they’ll be perfect for trips.
Lunar New Year in Australia sounds fun! I might check out the Devonport Cup too, always loved a good race. Excited to see how the long weekends shape up for potential getaways.
