Climate
The southern parts of Australia have four distinct seasons and are the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere. When it is winter in Europe and North America, it is summer in Australia. You will hardly see snow, apart from the mountainous regions in eastern Victoria and southern New South Wales. Australia’s north is in the tropics. There are two seasons, the dry and the wet, and both have high temperatures around the year. The centre has typical desert climate, hot days and cold nights, which can be freezing in winter.
