Yes, but rarely.

Australia is a land of incredible contrasts. Snow also fell on Mt Buller in the Australian Alps at Christmas in 2006, one day after the ski resorts were threatened by bushfires. Similarly, that was the year Tasmania received snowfalls, just one day after temperatures reached 31 degrees Celsius.

In the lead up to the Christmas of 2010, icy winds swept up from the Southern Ocean, resulting in snowfalls across the Australian Alps just ahead of Christmas. Australia's highest peak, Mt Kosciuszko, and surrounding ski resorts right down to the Victorian highlands around Mt Buller received snowfalls of up to 10cm in the middle of Summer. However, there were no snowfalls on Christmas Day itself.
