There’s this big cold place down south that sends massively cold air up to the bottom of Australia. Whereas the top is literally situated in the tropics.

Add to that we’re surrounded by multiple current and airstreams hitting each side of the continent. And the Mountain ranges along the east coast make the interior drier and hotter.

Oh and Ausstralia is big. If Europe can go from snow up north to beach holidays in the Mediterranean, why wouldn’t we also be as varied and more.

but when I was in Melbourne, there was a question of ‘wait? is this weather … shit?’

Ah you just gotta wait 3 minutes and it’ll change.

You’d be wanting this shitty map. Congrats now you know Victoria is temperate, what it doesn’t tell you is that we’re often wet and miserable like in England or that you’ll get snow in Tassie.

I much rather OPs map.

So there seems to be 4 main groupings that each use similar words.

What causes these groupings? Are they some sort of cross border cultural identities/shared culture?
