Australia Day Public Holiday
Because Australia Day fell on Sunday this year, today is a public holiday and most South Burnett businesses will either be closed or operating on restricted hours. Traffic will also be a bit higher than usual on our region's main roads as people return from their holidays - particularly from late afternoon onwards - so you should drive with caution. And if you're thinking of attending a group activity today, it may be wise to phone them in advance to determine if they're still holding a meeting or not. Some groups do meet on public holidays, but some don't.
