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.
