The ski season across the Snowy Mountains and the Victorian Alps opens in June, timed to the King's Birthday long weekend observed in most states. 22 June 2029 falls inside this opening stretch of the Australian alpine season, which runs through to its usual close in September, drawing the year's first big crowds to the mountains.
Some employers close early or run a shortened day on Friday, ahead of the weekend that follows. 22 June 2029 falls on this day, the last of the five working days counted in the total shown above for its week, immediately before Saturday and Sunday begin the two-day break most standard working arrangements observe.
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.
