New Year's Eve 2058, 2059 and onwards

New Year’s Eve Australia : December 31

The last day of the year, December 31, is when Australians all over the country wave goodbye to the old year and welcome the New Year. In South Australia and the Northern Territory the evening is a part-day public holiday from 7pm to midnight, also when December 31 falls on a weekend (as on Sunday 31 December 2028). In the other states and territories New Year’s Eve is not a public holiday.

New Year’s Day in Australia is, like in all countries that use the Gregorian Calendar, celebrated on January 1. Many people in Australia take New Year’s Eve off in order to spend time with their friends and family and to prepare for the countdown to the New Year.
