RE: My trip to Austria

in TravelFeed4 years ago

lol my pleasure. Australia is certainly far enough south for good snow; it just lacks any really high alpine mountains to have year round snow and ice (glaciers). Most of the semi permanent winter snow cover is in the so called "Australian alps" (which top out at up to ~2228m) on the mainland. But when you get southern winter storms coming off Antarctica it can snow down to sea level in Tasmania. Because of the maritime island climate in Tasmania however it does not stick around for long at low altitude. This is just from last week.
