    Personally love it, but it's not really celebrated here in Australia.

      Well I think it's celebrated far too much in Australia: it's a Northern Hemisphere Autumn Festival, nothing to do with Spring in our hemisphere.

        All our holidays are a Northern Hemisphere thing, apart from Australia Day.

          Anzac Day? Melbourne Cup Day? and more recently and ridiculously, Grand Final Day? Show Days?
          Labor Day? I agree easter, xmas and the queen's birthday (which isn't even her birthday anyway) are northern hemisphere celebrations. Easter was originally Oestra, a spring festival and xmas was originally midwinter solstice, not even christian festivals.

          So called "Australia day" commemorates the invasion of this country and I refuse to call it that: it's either Survival Day or Invasion Day.

      Yeah, they need to do more down here to promote it.

        It's promoted really well and some do go Trick Or Treating, but it's just not as popular as it is in the U.S.
