It turns out our (WA) Monarch’s birthday is September 23. I thought it was earlier in the month than that. But still, it’s a bit close to September 3.

Yeah apparently in WA the Governor chooses each year and announces his decision on the first Monday in June. It’s almost always either the last Monday in September or the first in October.

But still, it’s a bit close to September 3.

Not really any closer than the current date is to New Year’s.
