Silver week is a rare coinciding of two public holidays on Mon and Wed and the Govt being good sports by throwing in a free holiday on Tuesday to cut the people some slack.

Silver comes from the fact that Monday is Respect for the age day - and silver - repping for the elderly (silver seats on trains)

Also silver is the second such hoilday this year - the first is "Golden" week. Dunno who coined the term, but I like silver week already. Shame we couldn't have "bronze" week in about November.

 

Wed is Autumn equinox day which is the variable holiday as it fluctuates year to year.

 

Either way its awesome! not too shabby at all, I bet quite a few workers around the place have taken that thurs/fri option and made a decent break of it. Wonder if airline prices rose for silver week?

I think a platinum fortnight in mid January would be just the ticket! Maybe the government would like to consider this!!!!!

 

Or it could be called a 'snow fortnight'

 

Ok who's first to suggest this?
