We follow the seasons as they happen in our little part of the world (ie, Melbourne).
What would be the point in celebrating Summer in the middle of Winter....
Although we also don't get so hung up on things like dates.
For example, has everyone noticed that spring blooms have come earlier than usual. Golden Wattles always bloom around beginning of Aug, but they were in bloom from near beginning of July, almost a month earlier....
I think we can look forward to a very hot, dry summer.
