Autumn is fully established across the southern states by 29 April 2026, with cooler mornings standard and the first talk of the ski season in the Snowy Mountains and Victorian Alps beginning to circulate. The tropical north's cyclone season runs through April before ending for the year, handing the north over to its long dry season.
A public holiday landing on a Wednesday sits in the middle of its working week rather than beside a weekend, so it does not create a long weekend on its own. Wednesday 29 April 2026 falls on this day of the week, at the working week's midpoint, three working days deep into the week.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 29 April 2026 including weekends and public holidays, while deadlines specified in working or business days count only the days this page includes in its working-day total. The difference between the two conventions can shift a deadline by several days once weekends and holidays are counted.
