Even from within a soulless modern shopping centre, it's still possible to observe the passing of the seasons. Now that we're in autumn, you won't see the yellowing and falling of leaves or busy squirrels collecting acorns to get them through the bitter winter. But venture into your local Coles or Woolworths supermarket, and these are the signs to look for:
January - discounted Christmas wrapping paper, and damaged decorations
February - we're nearing Easter and so those chocolate eggs have hit the shelves
March - hot cross buns are being baked in their billions
April - Easter is over, and the hot cross buns have been replaced by Anzac biscuits
May - Mother's Day suggested gifts can be seen
September-December - Christmas is here again
