Australia - Queen's Official Birthday
The sovereign's official birthday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth realms. Its date varies as adopted by each country. For example, the Queen's Official Birthday in Australia is celebrated on the second Monday in June.
The birthday of the monarch of Great Britain was first celebrated in Australia in 1788. The holiday was declared by Governor Arthur Phillip. Originally, it coincided with the actual birthday of the incumbent monarch. After the death of King George V in 1936, it was decided to celebrate it on the second Monday in June.
