The best discussion of this is a book called "Sprinter to Sprummer".  That argues for 5 seasons for the Melbourne -Sydney areas,  The author also explains that there are many more definitions of seasons than are dreamt of in Wiki's philosopy!

Well, not quite everyone.  One must tread carefully around this frequent cause of pub fights in Birdsville. According to our old friend Dr Wik, it depends on which reckoning you use.  Mark is an Astronomical or Solar Reckoner.  I shall omit the Chinese view.

Geoffrey,

He still has until September 23 to get his tail right. That is the official start of spring, not September 1 like everyone thinks.
