A Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated once a month when the number of the month coincides with the number of the day (January 1, February 2, March 3, etc.).
Bonza Bottler Day is an artifical holiday that was created by Elaine Fremont in 1985 when she realized there were no special occasions to celebrate during August. She decided to give herself a reason to have a party and some fun with this special day every month. Ms. Fremont held a contest to name the day, which a student from Australia won. When Australians like something, they might exclaim, bonza!" which means "super", "great", "fantastic". "Bonza" and its synonym "bonzer" are popularly used in Australia, and likely derive from the word "bonanza". "Bottler" is slang for "something excellent". Thus, the celebration each month is now known as Bonza Bottler Day, which was first officially celebrated on August 8, 1985.
Elaine Fremont died in a car accident on April 8, 1995 at the age of 43. For ten years, she celebrated every Bonza Bottler day with her friends. Her sister, Gail Berger, now sponsors Bonza Bottler Day.

of Elaine Fremont. It happens every month when the day and the
date are the same number.
