Re: Hello from the States! OK, so call me naive! I received an email from Caravan and Motorhome Magazine and it talked about Fathers day. It never occurred to me that other countries would have some of the same holidays as we do. Obviously you don't have the Fourth of July (Independence Day) celebration, but you might have some sort of independence day celebration. We also have Thanksgiving in November which I believe is unique to the US. Anyway, when is Fathers day down under? Do you also have a mothers day? Our Mothers day is in May and our Fathers day is in June.
