I take it Australia has no silly laws regarding alcohol and Good Friday?

    I presume pubs/bottle shops will be open tomorrow? In general how much of a shutdown is Easter/Anzac day? Will shops be open all weekend or on vastly reduced hours?

    I thought it was a complete shutdown tomorrow! Hope not would like to have a drink tomorrow night!

    Can't buy takeout anyway. Tried last year when I was in Kalbarri and couldn't get a drop.

    Lesson learnt and this year I'm taking four crates away with me :D

    I think it is different in every state. Nothing seems to open here in WA.

    It's a public holiday in Australia, not being able to have a drink in a pub on your day off :rolleyes: esp when a large amount of Australians are not Catholic
