December 2012 Events on the Sunshine Coast 

December is the first month of Queensland's hot summer. Queensland does not use daylight saving (summertime). The whole state remains on Eastern Standard time all year round.

Year 10 and 12 students have already finished school for the year, other students begin summer holidays in mid-December. December's events are mainly Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Because Christmas Day and Boxing Day are on a weekend this year, the following Monday and Tuesday will be public holidays.
