Whale migration season runs along much of the eastern and western coastlines through May, one of the seasonal markers of the Australian mid-year. 5 May 2029 falls inside this stretch, as days continue shortening ahead of the winter solstice the following month and the ski season's opening in the Snowy Mountains and Victorian Alps not far behind it.
A public holiday that falls on a Saturday sits inside the weekend rather than beside it, so it does not automatically create a substitute day off during the working week; whether one applies depends on the specific holiday and the state. Saturday 5 May 2029 falls on this day of the week, inside the weekend itself.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 5 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.
