Sure is! Easter Monday is a public holiday across Australia, which means a lot of Aussies score a long weekend—perfect for camping getaways, fishing trips, or backyard barbies.

Public holiday rules can vary slightly by state or territory, especially when it comes to trading hours, but the day itself is officially recognised nationwide.

If you’re planning an Easter escape, it pays to prep early. Stocking up on camping gear, fishing tackle, or outdoor essentials before the weekend hits means you won’t be scrambling to the shops to try and grab all that you need!

Unlike fixed holidays like Christmas, Easter moves every year because it follows a lunar calendar calculation rather than a set date! Easter Sunday falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the March equinox. That means it can land anywhere between late March and late April, which explains why Easter dates are always all over the place!

Drawing the Easter Bunny is a piece of cake (or choccie)—the kiddos can whip up a masterpiece while you’re packing the esky.

Simple steps:

1. Start with a big oval for the body.
2. Add a smaller circle for the head.
3. Draw two long ears on top. Maybe have them tilted or folded for a bit of fun?
4. Add a fluffy tail, round feet, and simple arms.
5. Finish with a nose, whiskers, and a cheeky grin with two big front teeth.

From there, encourage your little one to get creative. Maybe they could add an Easter basket, some eggs, or even pop their bunny in a camping chair or have them fishing on the beach for a bit of BCFing fun!

While no one’s ever caught the Easter Bunny mid-hop, families everywhere still wake up to eggs hidden around the house or campsite, full baskets of goodies, and plenty of proof that someone special visited overnight.

The tradition comes from old European stories linking rabbits with new life and the changing seasons, and today it’s all about the fun and creating epic Easter memories—whether that’s scavenger hunts for chocolate eggs at home, treats waiting at the campsite, or a day in the outdoors filled with plenty of BCFing fun.
