Does it snow in Australia?

Actually yes but not very often. Then it is in the mountains in the south of Australia. Now I am going to have an Australian tell me it snows somewhere else aren't I.
Australia House in London was officially opened in 1918 by King George V in front of a crowd of Aussies yelling out coo-ee. The daily express reported that the locals were rather taken aback by this strange antipodean ritual. However this was soon adapted to form part of the local football fans chant.
