Australian Alps

The Australian Alps is a section of the Great Dividing Range where it is one of the few places where it snows most of the year. Interestingly, the Australian Alps get more snowfall than the entirety of Switzerland.

The region accounts for most of the alpine environment in mainland Australia, however the region does not include any of Tasmania which too contains a large alpine environment.
