2021 is well underway and we are back to the grind for another year. After an age of no overseas holidays and ever-changing border restrictions, there’s a number of reasons you might have some extra annual leave accrued. But when is the best time to take it?
Combining leave with public holidays is always an effective way of scoring an extra mini-break. Here are the dates to look forward to in all Australian states and territories in 2021.
January 2021
Tuesday 26 January (Australia Day)
The big one in January, signalling the end of the school holidays, is Australia Day. In January 2021, the Australia Day holiday is on a Tuesday, so by taking Monday the 25th off as well, you’ll get a nice four day weekend.
Jockey Emily Finnegan knows too well the highs and lows of racing with constant battles with knee and shoulder injuries in the past two years.
But just for a moment those frustrations were parked when a beaming Finnegan steered the Karen Byrnes trained Street Life to a convincing win in the Listed Railway Stakes at Oakbank on Saturday.
Giving the leaders a solid start on the turn Finnegan headed to the outside rail where most of Saturday’s winners had won from, easily accounting for early leader Elderflower.
Finnegan, originally from Ireland and an Australian resident for the past three years, said the win was special.
