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.)

        So was that a comment from an Austrian thinking the Australian posts was about Austria? Or was that an Australian who misspelled their country’s name? Or was that an Austrian who knew the post was about Australia, but they just wanted to talk about Austria?
