It's a four-day weekend. We're all thinking about it. What can we do? Where can we go? What is open?

Need answers? We've got them because we know that you shouldn't waste a four-day weekend cleaning the house or working hours that you will not be paid for. Instead, you should spend time exploring.

If Canberra is on the cards for a long weekend getaway or you're a local who plans to catch up with mates and enjoy life, then these are the shops and eating hotspots that are keeping their doors open just for you.

Happy Easter.
