If you look down, you'll find the Wurrundjerri (Woiwurrung) seven seasons 
though only five for the Bunerong who are a coastal people. 
I disagree strongly with Beth Gott's calendar - though  she's a very nice 
person in every other way! It seems to miss one of my favourites. The early 
winter (May-June) is wet and windy like an English autumn but the late winter 
(July) is high pressure weather with cold clear nights and sunny days around 
16-19deg. Neither look much like a true winter at all and July can be wonderful 
weather by any measure. 
The 'winter' is not a dead season - that belongs to late 'summer'. The 
conventional seasons don't fit so fine tuning their names is pointless and 
misleading. The Koories had it right.
