I was briefly mystified as to why it wouldn't be obvious that a long narrow land mass at this latitude would get a bit cold, then I remembered none of you can see where we are!
I imagine Aussieland as hot, and I imagine New Zealand as near Aussieland. About the best I can do for the Hidden Island
Thank you, this perfectly summarizes where I went wrong
It's funny timing because we're in the middle of a cold snap right now.
@PugJesus fair enough. We're near it, but the distances involved mean we're about as near it as New York is to Florida.
Australia itself is so big it spans several climate zones too.
The difference in land mass and weather patterns is part of things as well. This article has some cool maps where they map northern hemisphere cities at the equivalent latitude onto New Zealand - turns out my comment was misleading insofar as, as well as getting less heat we also get less snow than we would if we had more land mass.
