I mean, everyone knows that in January it’s hot in Australia, and in July it’s cold there.
But do Australians call it “winter” in January and “summer” in July? Or does just “winter” imply hot weather and beaches, and “summer” implies winter, eh, i mean, snow sports and wool socks.
And given that, most of the population lives in northern hemisphere, is there a body of dad jokes and culture tropes related to the fact that “we’re different”, or is it just too cringe and boring. (I realize both could be true on this one.)
Yup we’re in the middle of winter as we speak.
The season names relate to the weather, not the period of year. It would be odd to have Spring be when all the leaves are falling off the trees.
So March is just eels?
Fuckin EELS
The river eels are considered ‘trash fish’ to some here but they’re delicious, tastes just like Japanese eels. They’re just a bit of a pain to skin and prepare.
Shout out the Merri Creek!
The wattles are thick with buds that will be blooming soon. That means trout fishing time!
