If you mean 3 or more days a year, yes there are many places
all over the southern half of the continent not on the coast
where this would apply. If you need regular low temps then
go for the southern highlands or Tasmania.

What did you have in mind?


The only good thing about winter is that sub-zero tempertures
kill insects. I'm told Armidale and Jindabyne have four
seasons.
