Children's Book Week 2026 runs from Saturday, August 22 to Friday, August 28. Organized by the Children's Book Council of Australia, this year's theme is 'Symphony of Stories'.
Vietnam Veterans' Day is commemorated annually on 18 August in Australia. It marks the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in 1966. The day honors the service and sacrifice of nearly 60,000 Australians who served during the Vietnam War and remembers those who lost their lives or carry ongoing scars.
