This year, the Easter long weekend takes place from April 15 until April 18. With the ANZAC day holiday only a week later, it’s a pretty good time to book some holidays. Before you go ahead and plan your weekend away though, you might want to consider what the weather is doing around Easter. We’ve consulted the weather forecast to help you out.
