When i was telling my hairdresser about the move to Aus in December she said

"You wont be in England for New Years Eve. All the seasons are around the wrong way in Australia, when do they celebrate New Years Eve?"

Had to stifle my laughter an just said "31st of December" resisted the urge to say "like everywhere else!!!"
