Mid-year school holidays run for two weeks somewhere across July in every state, splitting the school year's second half from its first. 28 July 2027 falls inside July, the coldest month of the year across the southern states and the peak of the ski season further south in the Snowy Mountains and Victorian Alps.
The Ekka public holiday in greater Brisbane is held on a Wednesday during the Royal Queensland Show each August, one of the few recurring public holidays fixed to this day of the week. Wednesday 28 July 2027 falls on the same weekday as this regional observance, which applies only within greater Brisbane and not to the rest of Queensland.
2027 has 365 days on the calendar. Leap years add a single extra day to February, giving those years 366 days instead of 365 and shifting the day-of-year number for every date from March onward by one compared with an ordinary year. This is the only irregularity in the length of the Australian calendar year.
