So, are you having sprinter or sprummer down there?
...I don't rightly understand it, since it can probably apply to every part of the globe. Seasons in Noosa are nothing like seasons in Sydney are nothing like seasons in Melbourne are nothing like seasons in Darwin are...

I'm not sure how you'd divide it all up for difference places. Newcastle, where my mum lives, quite often gets totally different weather to Sydney, only 2 hours drive from her but still on the coast (I think it's 80-90km as the crow flies). You'd end up with different seasons depending on which council area you're in "Welcome to Urandangi - it's now autummer" (well, they might just have two seasons actually, being "Farkin' hot!" and "Not so farkin' hot!".

It all sounds like a bit of a wank to me.

Cheers,
