   Then you can take steps to extend your knowledge.   
      
   BTW, the Vernal Equinox occurs in March even in Australia; Vernal does   
   mean Spring, but Vernal Equinox always means the March one.   
      
   Nearly half of Equinoxes occur the day after in Australia; and it's   
   worse in New Zealand.   
      
   Unless there has been subsequent relevant legislation, the lawful date   
   of Easter in the Antipodes is undefined; the UK Calendar Act does not   
   claim to apply there.   
      
   The date of Easter in the Empire and Colonies (as at 1752) is given by   
   the Annexe to the Calendar Act.  Any agreement with the Roman Catholic   
   version is intentional, but not fundamental.
