Queen's birthday

Kord aastas on austraallastel ometi ka kasu sellest, et Austraaliat valitseb de jure j2tkuvalt inglise monarh. Nimelt on homne esmaspäevane päev Austraalias riigipyha, sest tähistatakse Queen's birthday. The Queen's Official Birthday, the Queen's Birthday, or the Sovereign's birthday is the day on which the birthday of the monarch of the Commonwealth realms is officially celebrated. The exact date of the celebration varies from country to country, and generally does not fall on the day of the monarch's actual birthday, that of the current sovereign, Elizabeth II, being 21 April. Australia, except for Western Australia, observes the Queen's Birthday on the second Monday in June, marking it with a public holiday that also serves as the opening weekend to Australia's snow season.
Aga see, et homme on riigipyha ei tähenda, et me ei läheks täna 6htul taas sardiinipyygile. Tuuniriigil ei ole inglise monarhist sooja ega kylma.
