Celebrate Queensland Day 2024 this June
This Queensland Day on Thursday, 6 June, we celebrate 165 years since the state officially separated from New South Wales to become an independent colony in 1859.
Queensland Day is an important celebration of our state’s culture and heritage, and an opportunity to reflect on what we love about Queensland and being a Queenslander – whether it be our people, places, opportunities, or lifestyle.
