I've only had an Intro. to Astronomy course about 20 years ago, but I'm pretty sure the the way you've listed the equinox dates for the southern hemishere isn't quite right.
Google knows all:
Vernal Equinox: The sun is on the equator moving north, and marks the beginning of spring, (in the southern hemisphere this is the beginning of autumn).
I'd list it like this:
Northern Hemisphere:
Spring, March 21 (Vernal Equinox)
Summer, June 22 (Summer Solstice)
Autumn, September 22 (Autumnal Equinox)
Winter, December 22 (Winter Solstice)
Southern Hemisphere:
Autumn, March 21 (Vernal Equinox)
Winter, June 22 (Winter Solstice)
Spring, September 22 (Autumnal Equinox)
Summer, December 22 (Summer Solstice)
Cheers,
Brent

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
