Australia has a wide range of climates, from the tropics in northern Australia, a variety of warm temperate and sub-tropical climates through to a cool temperate climate in Tasmania.
In the major cities however the weather does not suffer the extremes of other countries.
This allows Australians to lead a high quality of life without significant discomfort or expenses for heating and cooling.
