Daylight saving ends on the first Sunday of April in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, putting the clocks back an hour. 26 April 2029 falls in the month where those five states move off daylight time, while Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory keep the same clock they have run all year without any change.
A public holiday landing on a Thursday sits one day short of the weekend, and workers commonly take the Friday after it as annual leave to turn a single day off into a four-day break. Thursday 26 April 2029 falls on this day of the week, one working day ahead of Friday and two ahead of the weekend that follows it.
The quarter containing 26 April 2029 is based on the calendar year running January to December, a separate system from the Australian financial year, which runs from 1 July to 30 June and splits into its own four quarters. Businesses often track both systems side by side, one for tax filings and one for calendar-year planning.
