History & Origins of Labour Day
May Day in Australia (observed on the first Monday of May in Queensland and the Northern Territory) historically commemorates the labor struggles of the late 19th century. In Queensland, it is deeply tied to the legendary 1891 Australian shearers' strike, which was one of the country's earliest and most influential industrial disputes, leading directly to the formation of the Australian Labor Party.

Trade unions host colorful street marches in Brisbane and Darwin, followed by community family picnics, live music, and outdoor sports tournaments.
