Why is the first of September considered the beginning of Spring in Australia?
Not just Australia, the whole of the Southern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice is on the 21st of June, the Summer Solstice is on the 21st of December. The Spring Equinox is on the 21st of September, and the Autumn Equinox is on the 21st of March. Therefore, Spring commences on the 1st of September in the whole of the Southern Hemisphere. Unfortunately, because the earth is viewed inaccurately from a Northern Hemisphere perspective, the Southern Spring Equinox is actually referred to as the "Autumnal Equinox" so that it does not confuse the northerners.
