AMA - Random's bandwagon edition

[random980]

WELP, I am rather bored, not only that but i feel like most of you dont know me very well outside of 'That silly/sarcastic Australian.' So what better way is there to change that (well try to) than with jumping on the AMA trend.
Fire away!

An Australian is someone from Australia. Not to be confused with Austria and Austrian.
Are you implying there is a time when we don't ride them?

The weather REALLY depends on the season and state, as of now it's summer and the whole week in Melbourne is expected to be around 30 Celsius (86 Fahrenheit according to Google) and tonight it's staying around 20. (which is one of the reasons im still up past 3am -.-). It is not unusual at all to have days over 40c (104f)
In winter it usually varies from 6 to 20. It never snows in Australian Cities.
Autumn weather is mainly stable, even then it can be cool one week and a heat wave the next.
Spring though, Spring's an ass. Nearly always gloomy cloudy days even when hot, humidity is ridiculous, you can get all 4 seasons 3 times over in a single day. It can be full cloud coverage and pouring rain (even hail in some areas) then hit 24 degrees with few clouds within 2-3 hours.
As far as how hot or cold it can get in Australian cities (depending which one), it can be anything in-between -2 to 50 (28.4 to 122 fahrenheit).
Going to the beach is what most people do during summer or generally hot days, pretty much every Australian has swam in the ocean before, recently someone i know was stung on two separate occasions by a blue bottle jellyfish.

Have you ever experienced a life-threatening event where you were face-to-face with a crocodile?

If you don't have crocodiles there, how about alligators?

Australians have crocs. I havent been in a life threatening event but then again im not an idiot who would jump into crocodile infested waters, actually the croc 'incident' rate in Aus is extremely low.
