My last post was about Mothers day. So, in the interest of equality (and personal benefit, since I am a father!), here is one about Fathers day.
Here is the link to the Google Trends chart for the term "fathers day" (search traffic plotted against time):
http://www.google.com/trends/?q=fathers+day
Looking at the search volume, a few things become clear:
- Easy to see that Fathers Day is in the middle of June (I wish Google Trends would allow us to zoom in a little to figure out exactly where the peak is)
- Just like Mothers Day, there is a second peak, which in this case occurs a little later in the year
- You can explore a bit by clicking on various countries (links are below the graph) and see if you can find out which part of the world celebrates Fathers Day a bit later in the year. (Hint: It is in the southern hemisphere.)
Another great example of how statistical / evidence-based information can lead you to interesting / more complex answers that may not be commonly known.

Got a bunch of hits for this post, but no one ventured to answer the question. So here it is: Australia.
