Spring begins on 1 September, and by 24 September 2030 warmer days return across the southern states after the winter months. The AFL finals series runs through September, ahead of the Grand Final that follows in late September or early October, drawing national attention as one of the biggest fixtures on the Australian sporting calendar.
Tuesday 24 September 2030 carries no recurring public holiday of its own outside the first Tuesday of November, when the Melbourne Cup applies in metropolitan Melbourne. On every other date, this day of the week runs as a standard working day across the country, counted fully in the working-day total above.
A public holiday that falls on a Monday or a Friday produces a three-day weekend without using any annual leave, which is why long-weekend planning around 24 September 2030 depends on which day of the week the nearest public holiday falls on. A midweek holiday delivers no such automatic extension, though many workers bridge it with a single day of leave.
