You know how it is—whenever there’s a flight sale, I find myself diving straight into Google to pinpoint those elusive long weekends. It’s a routine of searching for days off, checking school term dates for the latter part of the year, and so on. With Adelaide Cup and Easter around the corner, and a bunch of long weekends coming up, having a handy bookmark to quickly reference those dates doesn’t hurt either.
So, we’ve put together a handy list, so you can find them all in one place for South Australia.
