As much as we love a public holiday, 26 January is a complex day for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and here at Urban List, we believe it is not a date to celebrate. If you want some ideas for what you can do on the day to support First Nations people, head here, but if you are taking the day off and are looking for somewhere to eat, scroll down to find what's open on the 26 January public holiday in Brisbane.
