The ski season across the Snowy Mountains and the Victorian Alps opens in June, timed to the King's Birthday long weekend observed in most states. 9 June 2028 falls inside this opening stretch of the Australian alpine season, which runs through to its usual close in September, drawing the year's first big crowds to the mountains.
Friday 9 June 2028 is the last working day of the standard Monday-to-Friday week, the fifth and final working day before the weekend begins. A public holiday landing on this day of the week joins directly onto the Saturday and Sunday that follow it, forming a three-day weekend without using any annual leave.
The working-day count on this page excludes both weekend days and any public holiday declared for the state selected, so the same date in 2028 can show a different total depending on which state's calendar applies to 9 June. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
