The NRL season opens in the first week of March, and the AFL season follows in the second half of the month. 11 March 2029 falls inside the opening rounds of both national football codes, at the same point on the calendar where Melbourne's Moomba festival runs across the Victorian Labour Day long weekend each year.
Sunday 11 March 2029 is a weekend day under the standard Monday-to-Friday working pattern and does not count toward the working-day total shown above, the last day of the weekend before the working week resumes on Monday morning across most Australian workplaces and schools.
The week number shown for 11 March 2029 counts full weeks from the start of 2029, a figure used in payroll cycles, rostering and any planning done in weekly or fortnightly blocks rather than by calendar month. Businesses running fortnightly pay runs rely on this figure to track which of the two alternating pay weeks a date falls in.
