Everything will not be open, Good Friday especially a lot (and I mean a lot) of places close. Gold Coast for example, there’ll be a few places to go and eat but it’ll be sit down food only, as in you won’t be able to go to many pubs just to drink.
The Saturday and Sunday are also official public holidays (and the Tuesday in Tassie).
So yes you’ll be able to go and do things, but expect options to be limited and prices to be high.
Think of it like Christmas (to a point) – Good Friday is a restricted trading day, like Xmas Day and ANZAC Day (until the afternoon). The Saturday onwards will be easier.
