The seasons are not reversed in Australia. They still follow the same order - summer, autumn, winter and spring. The difference is that, when it is summer in Australia it is winter in the northern hemisphere, and vice versa. This is because of the position of the sun in relation to the Earth. To put it in the simplest terms, because the Earth is tilted on its axis, during the southern hemisphere's summer, it is closer to the sun than the northern hemisphere is, so receives more heat. This is reversed during the northern hemisphere's summer.
