The mountains in the Southeast are tiny compared to the US but they do get snow (my wife lived and worked in a nice little town called Mansfield near a ski area). The North and Northeast is tropical. The center and West is pretty much all arid. Hamilton Island is off the coast of Queensland (in the NE) between the mainland and the Great Barrier Reef and is basically rain forest. I was there in August which is mid-winter so it was a bit cold but nice nonetheless. > In other words, makes me wish I was there.
