Fostay · Sydney

Sydney's long weekends.

The stretches of days off worth planning around in Sydney, worked out from New South Wales and national public holidays, with the leave needed and where the dates come from.

  • Public holidays from named sources, listed at the foot of the page
  • Dates that move with the moon, or are not announced yet, are marked
  • Hotels in Sydney are bookable now, quoted in AUD with every tax counted.

When to go

A long weekend here is a public holiday on a weekday beside a weekend: a Friday or Monday holiday gives three days, and a midweek one can be joined to the weekend with leave, which each entry counts. Holidays that apply only to this state, region or city are included.
