Southern Hemisphere doesn`t go by the soltices.
1st day of Summer = 1st September
1st Day of Autumn = 1st March
1st Day of Winter = 1st June
1st Day of Spring = 1st September.

I`m not liking this year... we`re right in the middle of a *huge* drought... where I am (About 4 hours from Sydney, 40 minutes from Bathurst), we got a good 10 hours of rain over about 3 days, but it *still* wasn`t enough to do much.
What we need is for it to rain heavily across the country for a couple of days without fail. Then we might start to get out of this drought...
