We’ve just started winter on 1st June but some areas like the far north are still reasonably hot all year around. We have frequent cyclones in 2 states and 1 territory. Occasional earthquakes. A lot of drought but the past 2yrs have helped with that. I think I see one thing that you guys seem to have a lot of that’s very rare here and would scare the crap out of me if we had them - tornados! Ah I’m talking too much again sorry. Basically when you think Australia you associate it with good weather unless you’ve been here in the past 2 years  That’s climate change for ya.

Yes, climate change is a terrible, terrible occurrence. Australia sounds lovely. I hope this isn't a ridiculous question, but have you seen a koala bear?
A tornado would terrify me! We don't have them on the west coast. California has earthquakes, but at this point almost every structure is earthquake-proof. There are small ones fairly frequently. I mean, earthquakes happen every day, almost constantly, but people can only actually feel the stronger ones. I'm not particularly afraid of quakes, although the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 definitely was pretty horrific. A very bizarre experience.
