October 2026 in Brisbane and Queensland

Hmmm… Oktoberfest and Ocsober in the same month. Maybe that’s not such a bad idea.

Southern states change their clocks on the first Sunday in October which causes the usual inconveniences between South-east Queensland and New South Wales.

- 5 October (Monday) 2026 – King’s Birthday – Public Holiday (see AU school and public holiday dates).

- 6 October (Tuesday) 2026 – QLD School Term 4 begins
