(aussie.zone)
Transcription:
A map of Australia, with different sections labelled with areas from other parts of the world with similar climates.
- The northern coast is labelled: Thailand
- Small patches of northern Queensland, northwest Victoria, and southwest NSW: Northern India
- Most of the areas east of the Great Dividing Range: Louisiana
- The southeastern corner, including most of Tasmania: England
- Kosciuszko: Finland
- Interior of Tasmania: Alaska
- Small patches of southwest Victoria, southeast South Australia, and southwest Western Australia: Coastal Washington
- Most of the southern coast: Southern Nevada (Los Angeles)
- A large area around Perth and a small area west of Adelaide: Southern California
- Southern Western Australia: Central Spain
- Western Queensland, northwestern NSW, and central Northern Territory: Southern Texas
- The vast majority of the interior of the country: Sahara Desert
Pretty wild that you can drive a short distance northwest and go from a Finland climate to a Louisiana one.
((Altitude))
Edit: oh shit that's the ACT. I thought it was some other mountainous area. I call shenanigans.
Actually looking at it again, I think it might not be the ACT. I think it's around Kosciuszko.
Yes, I would think Finland would be more around the top of the Snowies/Vic Alps, particularly as you approach the treeline. England seems a better fit for the ACT (though you might need to ignore summer for that).
ACT = Wales. My welsh grandmother literally moved up there after grandpa died because it reminded her of glamorgan.
Does Wales run a dry 40 degrees in summer?
Give it time
Ergh. Fair.
