Why doesn't it snow in Australia Perth?
Perth Australia is too warm for any snow. It lies within the "temperate" zone, too warm for snowfalls, and its elevation is too low to counteract it being in a temperate zone. The only areas of Australia which have snow are the alpine regions of southeast Australia, where the highest mountains are, and the highlands of Tasmania. Snow occasionally falls in winter in parts of the Blue Mountains and central highlands of New South Wales; it may fall in Canberra, rarely; and it may also (rarely) fall in southern Queensland in one part of the border ranges - again, where the elevation is very high.
Perth is located in the south west of Australia between the Indian Ocean and a low coastal escarpment called the Darling Range. It's central business district and suburbs are situated on the Swan River.

What snakes are poisonous in Perth Australia?
There are no poisonous snakes in Australia but there are many venomous ones.
There is a difference between being poisonous and being venomous. The difference is how the toxin is delivered.
Animals which are venomous inject the venom into their victims by a spur or stinger of some sort, just as some snakes inject their victims with venom via their fangs.
Animals (or plants) which are poisonous do not deliver their toxins directly. The body of the animal (or plant) tends to contain the poisonous substance within it, and they only cause harm to other organisms when they are eaten or touched.
Whilst there are around 100 species of venomous snakes in Australia, only a dozen of them have a deadly bite.
Australia's most venomous snakes include:
What is the source of the Swan river?
The Swan River is fed by the Avon River, which has a catchment area of over 120 000 sq km. Another source of the Swan is the Mounts Bay Drain, part of a system which connects Lake Monger to the Swan River at Mounts Bay, near Perth. The Mounts Bay Drain was constructed in 1909 to allow regulation of water levels in Lake Monger.
Why was the Swan River selected as a settlement site?
There was considerable fear in England that the French were going to establish a penal colony in the western part of Australia (possibly at Shark Bay). As a result, the Colonial Office finally assented to Captain James Stirling's request (made several months prior) that a "free" (as opposed to convict) colony be established in the Swan River area with himself as its governor.
Stirling's argument was based on the fact that, following his exploration of the Swan River area in 1828, he returned with glowing reports about the agricultural potential of the region. He wrote: "I represent it as the Land which, of all tht I have seen in various quarters of the World, possesses the greatest natural attractions... the Soil is admirably calculated for every Species of Cultivation; ... the territory is abundantly supplied with fresh Water."
Stirling went on to extol the virtues of a climate in which one could "labour throughout the day and in every Season of the Year". He also stated that the Swan River provided "safe anchorage" and could be made into "one of the finest harbours in the World."
Apart from the fact that the British did seek to offset any possibility of French settlement, the area was seen to have all the requirements to establish a colony which could become self-sufficient within a relatively short space of time.
