According to research at the University of New South Wales, based in Sydney, the most common place for tsunamis to occur in Australia is New South Wales. Of the 145 tsunamis experienced along the coastline of the Australian continent in the last 140 years, 57 have been in New South Wales. Tasmania was next with 40 tsunamis, while there were 26 in Queensland and another 23 in Western Australia.
Compared to most of Australia, Tasmania experiences a fair amount of snow in winter. While it does not snow "a lot" in Tasmania, the state does experience widespread snow across its interior, where there are numerous snowfields popular in Winter. Tasmania's main winter sports resorts are Ben Lomond & Mt Mawson in the Mt Field National Park, but snowfalls occur across the high, rocky areas, even occasionally in summer. Mt Wellington, which overlooks Hobart, also has frequent snowfalls in winter, and sometimes in summer.
