Ash Wednesday is actually a Christian commemoration which occurs every year, 40 days before Easter.
However, if the question refers to the disastrous Ash Wednesday bushfires which occurred in Victoria and South Australia, ironically beginning on the real Ash Wednesday, this happened on 16 February 1983.
