Why, in Australia, the first day of spring/autumn is the 1st and not the 22nd

Long before Copernicus and Keppler came along, the seasons were identified by the fruiting and flowering of plants, the migration of birds and other animals and by the weather. In northern Europe they had four seasons. In Australia, using exactly the same methods of defining seasons, the number of seasons varies from two in the central desert to eight among the Wik people of Cape York.
