    Does it snow in Oz?

    They seem south enough to be cold enough for snow, but I've
    never seen any pictures of austrailia that weren't that
    mountain thing or of people getting attacked by sharks or listening to a symphony in that sail-dome.

    What would an austrailian snowman look like?
    Merry Christmas

    Nope, it's always sunny and happy and with some singing girl on a yellow road.

    (Come to think of it, the writers must have been pretty stoned thinking of this story )
    No matter how fool-proof your program is, there will always be a better fool.

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    If you want poor, head west - those bums in Perth can't even afford snow. And they're so dumb - they couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted them two of the letters!

    Over here in West Oz we barely even get enough rain to fill the dams let alone snow. And the only mountain we've got would be considered a mound compared to others.

    That what you get for bieng the oldest land mass on the planet i spose.

    They have snow in OZ. Must be. Surely. You cannot convince me that that Howard bloke isn't on snow. No bloody way

    Makes up for the lack of mountains l guess. Aussies get excited by a rock for flocks sake. You need to go to NZ to see real mountains.....


    It snows in the Blue Mountains, which is actually a range just west of Sydney..... or right next door if those inbreds in Penrith decide they are a part of the Emerald city........
