It surprises me that the predominant impression of Australia is hot dry and sunny to the exclusion of everything else. Not all of the country is like that.
I just traveled from the far South Coast of NSW to Newcastle which is a city North of Sydney return in the same day.
On leaving home before dawn it was 10° C and overcast. Through the Bega Valley the temp rose to 15°C.
Then the short windy 1000m climb to Nimmitabel where the temperature was -1°C all in about an hour !
From there through Cooma and into Canberra where the temp rose to 4°C. From Canberra to Sydney the weather deteriorated to near rain and the temperature rose to 15°C. At Newcastle (my destination ) it was 22°C, humid and raining. The return trip started at about 4.00pm and by the time I reached Nimmitabel on the way home it was -3°C with that sparkle to the grass that signals that I will soon have to fit my winter tyres to cope with the snow !
Guess we'll just have to wait for 6 or so months to see the bikinis again.

It's the same expectation that it's always cold and raining in the UK, which it's not. Well, sometimes it isn't

We are simple people here and have simple naming conventions

Big desert with lots of sand = "Great Sandy Desert"
Big ocean reef that stops boats = "Great Barrier Reef"
Mountains that look blue = "Blue Mountains"
Mountains with snow = "Snowy Mountains"

None of the posh naming rules like you have over there  Just a white TDV8 with a few extras
