Autumn is fully established across the southern states by 6 April 2029, with cooler mornings standard and the first talk of the ski season in the Snowy Mountains and Victorian Alps beginning to circulate. The tropical north's cyclone season runs through April before ending for the year, handing the north over to its long dry season.
A public holiday on a Friday pairs directly with the Saturday and Sunday that follow it, producing one of the two most common three-day-weekend patterns on the Australian calendar. Friday 6 April 2029 falls on this day of the week, the last working day of its standard Monday-to-Friday week before the weekend begins.
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.
