Relative to most of you.....

Origin
late Middle English: via French or late Latin from Greek antipodes 'having the feet opposite', from anti 'against, opposite' + pous, pod- 'foot'. The term originally denoted the inhabitants of opposite sides of the earth, or of the side opposite to oneself, and was later transferred to the places where they live (mid 16th century).

Hello from sunny Sussex.

Yes, and no.

There are New Zealand's Antipodes Islands.

Also, Fifth Columnist has capitalised "The Antipodes" thus it refers to Australia or New Zealand.

The Oxford Dictionary says:

NOUN

1 (the Antipodes) Australia and New Zealand (used by inhabitants of the northern hemisphere):
there were plants from the Antipodes, including eucalyptuses and acacias
