The Australian Open finishes in Melbourne in the first half of February, and the domestic cricket season moves into its finals across the same weeks. 21 February 2029 sits inside this stretch of the national sporting calendar, in the final weeks of summer before autumn begins the following month across the southern states, while the tropical north remains firmly inside its wet season.
Wednesday 21 February 2029 sits at the midpoint of the standard working week, between Monday's start and Friday's finish. Australians commonly call this point in the week hump day, marking the transition from the first half of the working week to the second, with two working days already complete and two still remaining before the weekend begins.
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 2029 can show a different total depending on which state's calendar applies to 21 February. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
