Feb 2 - Lammas (sounds like a good excuse for a BBQ)
April 30th - Hallowe'en
Aug. 1 - Horse's Birthday
Aug. 2 - Wombat Day
Nov. 1 - November Day (like May Day, but... you know.)

So Happy November Day everyone. And for my November Day wish I would like to see Bill Murray in a movie called "Wombat Day."

Aug. 1 is the official day to mark all racing horses' birthdays for the records.

Yep. 1 January in the Northern Hemisphere.

Horses' foaling day

Interesting... In the U.S., the Jockey Club sets January 1 as the official foaling day for racehorses.

So what happens on wombat day? If he emerges from his burrow and sees his shadow, does it predict anything, like the groundhog in the U.S.?

Wombats don't go in for that sort of nonsense. Don't you read Digger?
