So, Australia Reeeally Got Around The #FirstDayOfSummer Yesterday

SUN'S OUT, GUNS OUT.

It could be said that when it comes to public service announcements, Aussies carry a certain sense of pride and obligation -- case in point: rallying around a generally good bloke, and letting it be known that it's FINALLY summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

Ah yes -- December 1st came and went yesterday -- but not without a fair amount of noise on the Interwebs.

Excited souls were up at dawn to get a shot of summer's first sunrise, while others cracked a beer and shared in the cheer with their four-legged friend. Yep, the jury's out and it's still the most wonderful time of the year.

Can't wait to be spending the summer days like this ☀️ @lanajbru #firstdayofsummer #warmweather #beachlife

Rest of the world, you're welcome to your White Christmas. We'll stick with beach cricket, Mr Whippy and falling asleep to the sound of cicadas.
