School holidays run through January in every state and territory, with Term 1 not starting until the last week of January or the first week of February. 22 January 2029 falls inside this national school break, the longest of the four holiday periods on the Australian school calendar and the busiest month of the year for family travel to caravan parks, coastal towns and the roads that lead to them.
Monday 22 January 2029 is the first working day of its week. Any bill, deadline or rostered task set for the preceding Saturday or Sunday moves to this date under standard business-day rules, and the working-day count above treats it as day one of a fresh five-day working stretch that runs through to Friday, before the weekend resets the cycle again.
2029 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.
