To know and understand Australia's diverse terrain and weather patterns, the following, and often quoted poem (in part below) helps sum it up:-

I love a sunburnt country: by Dorothea MacKellar
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of drought and flooding rains,
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel sea,
Her beauty and her terror,
The wide brown land for me.
