The Southern Hemisphere beings its turn toward the sun on June 21 and on December 21, it begins to turn away.
Australia experiences summer when the sun does not set at the South Pole. At this time, the South Pole is experiencing its own summer season, known as the Midnight Sun phenomenon, where there is continuous daylight for several months.
At the South Pole, your shadow will generally be much shorter than at locations closer to the equator, especially during the summer months when the sun is low in the sky. This is because the sun remains relatively close to the horizon, resulting in shorter shadows. Conversely, in areas closer to the equator, the sun is often more directly overhead, creating longer shadows at certain times of the day. So, if you’re at the South Pole, you’ll likely experience shorter shadows compared to your home.
The tilt of the axis is such that the North pole is further away from the sun in December and that is why we have winter time in the northern hemisphere. this means that at the same time the south pole is closer to the sun and summer time occurs there in December.
The South Pole begins its rotation away from the sun on March 21, and on June 21, it changes course and begins its rotation toward the sun.
The sun rises once each year at the South Pole, and sets once each year. The average number of days in a year without a sunrise at the South Pole is 182.5.

closer to the direct light & heat from the sun than places like north & south pole
The South Pole faces the sun during the summer season for the southern hemisphere.
yes
It's because of the tilt of the Earth on its axis. If there was no tilt, there would be no seasons. As the Earth go round the Sun, sometimes the North Pole is tilted to the Sun and we get northern Summer and South Winter. But 6 months later, the South Pole is closer to the Sun and we get southern Summer and northern Winter.
It's summer in Winnipeg when the South Pole tilts away from the Sun.

When the South Pole is tilted away from the sun, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere.

There is only one axis and it is always tilted. The part of the axis we call the 'north' pole is tilted toward the sun in the northern summer, and the 'south' pole is tilted toward the sun during the southern summer. That said, the earth itself is a little closer to the sun during the southern summer/northern winter.
The tilt of the axis is such that the North pole is further away from the sun in December and that is why we have winter time in the northern hemisphere. this means that at the same time the south pole is closer to the sun and summer time occurs there in December.
They have a long dark winter. During the southern winter (March-September), the South Pole receives no sunlight at all. The people who live near the south pole are scientists and they carry on with their scientific activities during the winter.
