2019 Long weekend Cheat Sheet

07 February 2025

To make the most of your 2025 public holidays, we've curated a handy cheat sheet to get you ahead of the game this year! Let's head out from Toowoomba to the world.

 

Australia Day | 26th January 2025

 Australia Day Holiday, giving you a stunning 3-day weekend and with direct flights between Toowoomba and Sydney on Qantas, it’s perfect for catching some Australian Open action from 14-27 January or take in a few tunes at Australia's largest country music festival, the Toyota Country Music Festival Tamworth (18-27 January).

 

Valentine’s Day |14th February 2025

This is technically not a long weekend folks, but if you play your cards right, you can snatch a four-day break and go somewhere exotic like Tropical North Queensland. Direct flights between Toowoomba and Townsville on have got you covered for this one. 

Direct flights to Sydney will get you in town for the start of the Sydney Mardi Gras.

Easter Weekend | Just take the month of April off, really …

It is a BIG month for holidays, long weekend and incredible events! A little planning will go a long way here. School holidays are happening across the country, but Good Friday on 18th April, Easter Monday on 21st April and ANZAC Day on 25th April will create a lovely short break too.

P.S. Direct flights from Sydney and Western Queensland will save you time and money driving to Brisbane collecting visitors. With all major car hire companies, taxis and the airport shuttle available, your guests can easily make their own way around town.

OR

Head out of town with direct flights between Sydney to attend:

The Sydney Royal Easter Show and

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival that runs.

 

Labour Day | Monday, 5th May 2025

Just when you thought April was a long enough break, Labour Day Monday gives your another 3-day pre-winter long weekend escape.

 

King’s Birthday | Monday 6th October 2025

As October finally rolls in and we start shaking off the winter, a royal 3-day weekend is on the cards. Daily direct flights from Toowoomba to Sydney with onward connections to Canberra will get you to Floriade - Australia’s biggest celebration of spring. Running 14 September to 13 October.

 

Christmas Day | 25 December 2025

Christmas Day on 25 December and Boxing Day on 26 December 2025.

By now you should be well and truly ready for a great break, but if you are in an industry that never sleeps (or takes public holidays) you might be able to sneak in a little weekend by taking Friday off. That Friday will give you a sneaky 3-day break!

 

New Year’s Day | 01 January 2026

Throw caution to the wind and grab 2 days’ leave to give yourself a 5-day holiday before your first day back at work!

 

We hope this little cheat sheet was helpful and we look forward to seeing where our flying community is travelling to in 2025.
