The winter solstice falls in the third week of June every year, the shortest day and longest night on the Australian calendar. 29 June 2029 sits close to this turning point, after which daylight hours slowly lengthen again toward summer, even though winter continues for two more months, through July and August.
Traffic volumes, flight bookings and getaway trips peak on Friday afternoons across Australian cities as the working week ends. Friday 29 June 2029 falls on this day of the week, at the close of its standard five-day working stretch, marking the start of the weekend for the standard Monday-to-Friday workforce.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 29 June 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.
