  Is Father's Day on a different day down under?
  
  Here in the U.S. it's in early June.

  • First Sunday in September (and official Spring), but it's not a public holiday - Timbo in Oz 16:28:59 09/28/15 (1)

    It was an unusually mild day and still. So we sat ate and talked outside under the covered pergola. September we still get frosts and high winds.
    
    Our official 'seasons' are reversed from your hemisphere. 'Spring' starts when your Fall does, but it is a lot weirder than that.
    
    Down here - in SE Australia - flowering of many of our native plants begins in August in 'Winter'. Warm days / periods begin to alternate with Wintry conditions, this continues up to November. Frosts, chilly days and SE winds. This is mostly due to the Great Southern Ocean and Antarctica.
    
    So there is a proposal that we extend Spring backwards to reflect that, and halve it into two 2 month seasons: Sprinter and Sprummer. Summer extends to 4 months and Autumn and Winter drop to two months each,
