The Melbourne Cup runs on the first Tuesday of November every year, a public holiday in metropolitan Melbourne and a national event followed everywhere else. 30 November 2029 falls inside the same 30-day month as this race, at the peak of the spring racing carnival that runs across several states.
Some employers close early or run a shortened day on Friday, ahead of the weekend that follows. 30 November 2029 falls on this day, the last of the five working days counted in the total shown above for its week, immediately before Saturday and Sunday begin the two-day break most standard working arrangements observe.
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.
