There's actually a fair bit of skiing goes on in Australia. NSW can get a fair bit of snow in places but as Martin says, the country is vast and the weather very variable depending on which part of the continent your on!
The first time I visited Uluru and the Olgas it snowed - it was absolutely freezing!

You haven't mentioned the other nasty animals in the sea:
stingrays,
crocodiles,
sea snakes
and stingers (nasty jellyfish)
And on land, you've got lots of poisonous spiders (redbacks etc.), and plenty of poisonous snakes. The top ten most poisonous snakes in the world all live in Australia, including the Common Brown at number 3 on the list. If a "common" snake is the third most deadly in the world, it can't be that nice a place to live?
Was down there last weekend - had a lovely swim in the seaEnough about Melbourne - The Gold Coast rocks
yes, and big ones at that
Saltwater Crocodile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I hope we get a decent dumping on the parks in Glasgow this winter. It'd be great to do a spot of "urban snowboarding"!
Don't worry - the Gold Coast is too far south for crocs. However I understand that they are occasionally encountered on lots of the beaches further north:
Deputy Mayor urges croc sightings policy rethink - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
However crocs aren't that common on the beach - think they are more interested in murky water as it's then easier for them to hide and ambush their prey.
Yeah CS is "a bit of an animal" Theres more to me than my fins
Afraid of moi........im not scary, im gentle as im in my pic (im the one in the white top) and in real life
For the record yes they (fish) are animals. I've only just realised what i've written in a post above about sharks not being animals.........i think i was being distracted when i wrote that its a typo!!! Anyways sharks are fish, i should know my own species
Back on the topic of snow.........there was some very light snow this morning whoop whoop!!! Then it melted
