I live in Canberra, australia. Is it too late to put in some seed?

A general guide is to plant Sept to Nov . so put some seed in as soon as possible. Weather changes year to year, and I'm not talking climate change. We are experiencing a much later start to spring summer rains due to the Indian ocean dipole and the monsoon trough has not yet moved down from India into the north of Australia.
