Australia's snowfall regions are limited to just a few areas, and the amount of snow varies according to the place and the time of year.

Winter time sees excellent snowfalls for skiing in the Snowy Mountains region of southeastern New South Wales and northeastern Victoria. Central Tasmania also sees good snowfalls. These falls usually only start in June at the earliest and continue through August, tapering off in the early months of Spring. Several of Australia's main snow resorts include the Kosciuszko National Park in NSW (Charlotte's Pass, Thredbo, Blue Cow) and Victoria (Mt Bogong, Fall's Creek, Mt Hotham, etc). These ski resorts may register anywhere between 50cm (20 inches) and 150 cm (60 inches) during the winter months. See the related link below for specifics.

Snow also falls (rarely) in southwest Western Australia, the southeast of South Australia, the highlands of Tasmania, Victoria, NSW (e.g. Blue Mountains to Orange, e.g. Blue Mountains to Orange, and in the New England region around Armidale) and even southern Queensland on the border around Stanthorpe. Of Australia's major cities, Canberra is the most likely to receive snow, followed by Hobart. Each of these places is more likely to receive perhaps 2cm (less than an inch) of snow at any given time.

For the greater part of Australia, no snow falls.
