No fixed national public holiday falls in May outside Queensland and the Northern Territory. 23 May 2029 sits between the ANZAC Day cluster in April and the King's Birthday long weekend that most states observe in June, in the middle of an otherwise unbroken run of working weeks across the majority of the country.
Wednesday 23 May 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.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 23 May 2029 including weekends and public holidays, while deadlines specified in working or business days count only the days this page includes in its working-day total. The difference between the two conventions can shift a deadline by several days once weekends and holidays are counted.
