October 2024 - Picture October

[Man From Ironbark]

Best I can do is that in October here, the sun has moved back from its winter position to where it starts beating down all day.
Australians have never really had an interest in Halloween until Big Business from America started marketing it big time here in the past decade.

Pumpkins are for eating. They are also not ripe at this time of year. So, no pumpkins to use.
Nothing about Halloween makes any sense in Australia. We aren't scared of witches here.
