Sabbats in the Southern Hemisphere
There may be some good information contained within this post & you can look into Southern Hemisphere Information on the site itself. Theres also a printable page to help you follow the Southern Wheel Southern Hemisphere Printable Wheel
We have at least a few witches that celebrate the wheel to the reverse of the Northern Hemisphere.
If you have any other questions, please let us know!
If you want more in-depth information than what the lovely and talented @Susurrus has given you, there’s a book called A Wiccans Walk in Oz - Perspectives from the Southern Hemisphere that might help you out. I haven’t read it myself but it looks interesting.
Merry meet @andre,
Welcome to the forum- it’s a pleasure to meet you! 
No worries, Andre! I’m assuming you are in the Southern Hemisphere, yes? You are right that you can absolutely still celebrate the 8 Sabbats- you are free to choose whether you want to follow the Northern calendar or use the reversed version suited for seasons in the South.
Siofra and Amethyst shared some great resources, and know that you aren’t alone! There are plenty of folks here in the forum who celebrate the Southern Wheel of the Year or who follow their own seasonal celebrations. Feel free to explore and do what feels most right to you! 
Blessed be! 
Hi! I know you’ve gotten a few great resources on the Wheel of the Year for the southern hemisphere so far! I just wanted to share a podcast episode that I recently did about creating your own celebration calendar based on your local area and what’s important to you
