Wow that was quite possibly the stupidest comment on this whole website, TheLarrikin.

Look at his name, re-read it, realise he was joking and that you entirely over-reacted, and hang yourself in shame.

So true. I spent two years in the UK and covered two main topics with the locals – the weather and tea (as in “Would you like a cup of tea? What?!?!? You don’t drink tea??? But what do you drink????You can’t drink water all the time, go on I’ll make you a lovely cuppa”)

But then I suppose it also depends on where you come from in Australia. Up here in Queensland we have great weather – except on long weekends when it absolutely pisses down and all the Victorians come up and wonder why the hell they bothered.

Australia isn’t only desert. YOU are the only ignorant person here.

Australia has some of the largest remaining rainforests in the world, along with a huge dividing mountain range that has a large amount of foliage. You have simply heard one description of Australia and formulated your entire opinion of the country based on that one piece of information.

I’m thinking England English, whilst living in England. Complaining.

You should try the winter weather in north queensland if you think the gold coast is warm in winter. Personally I find it quite cold down south in winter.

But Australia is only desert, right? Right??

God, some people are so ignorant. *sigh*

What the heck is an English in the context of an Australian. Are you referring to England English?

Totally agree. The weather is a MAJOR part of our day to day life (I’m Aussie BTW)…mostly because there is actually variation!

The weather here on the Gold Coast is brilliant during winter =D
Warm days, cool nights, low humidity. Then again, I’m a Kiwi

Definitely! Although the Aussies seem to moan more in winter than us Poms – I think it’s pretty nice at the moment, they seem to think it’s rotten. Go figure! lol

Nope. Try living in an Australian farming community. It’s always too dry, too wet, too cold, too hot, too windy, too still…

2nd graph is only valid in Australia. When they’re living in England they take every opportunity to talk about the weather, mostly to rub it in about how crap ours is

What about the English in Australia, eh? I think that would be about 50/50.

Also, FIRST!
