History & Traditions: The New South Wales (NSW) Bank Holiday is a public holiday observed in the state of NSW, Australia. The day was originally established to give bank employees a day off to participate in sporting events. Over time, it became a tradition for banks to close on this day, allowing workers a long weekend during the Australian winter.
On the NSW Bank Holiday, most banks and certain financial institutions are closed. However, this holiday does not apply to the entire state; it's specific only to bank employees and those working within the financial sector.
Activities:
It's important to note that while this is a day off for those in banking and finance, other industries typically operate as usual. Public transport may run on a regular or reduced timetable depending on demand.
