Yes, but snow in Australia falls in limited areas compared to the entire area of the continent.
Winter time sees excellent snowfalls for skiing in the Snowy Mountains region of southeastern New South Wales and northeastern Victoria. Central Tasmania also sees good snowfalls. These falls usually only start in June at the earliest - usually July - and continue through August, tapering off in the early months of Spring. Several of Australia's main snow resorts include the Kosciuszko National Park in NSW (Charlotte's Pass, Thredbo, Blue Cow) and Victoria (Mt Bogong, Fall's Creek, Mt Hotham, etc).
Snow also falls (rarely) in southwest Western Australia, the southeast of South Australia, the highlands of Tasmania, Victoria, NSW (e.g. Blue Mountains to Orange) and even southern Queensland on the border around Stanthorpe.It has even been known to snow towards the coast in Victoria, in Gippsland and near the Great Ocean Road.
Of Australia's major cities, Canberra is the most likely to receive snow, followed by Hobart, but these falls are usually very light.

∙ 7y agoYes, Australia has major ski resorts in NSW and Victoria, although not nearly as expansive or reliable as the major northern hemisphere resorts.

∙ 10y agoYes. Minimum temperatures in winter can drop down to 5 degrees but around 10-12 degrees Celsius is more usual. Maximum daytime temperatures generally range between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius. This is not cold enough to stop e hardiest surfers and swimmers, but it certainly slows down the number of tourists visiting the area.

True or false Australia has more snow covered land than Switzerland?
True - but only during winter. This is due entirely to the fact that Australia is such a vast continent that, even though there is relatively little area that is high enough for snowfalls, it still covers a greater expanse than that found in Switzerland. During winter, significant areas of the high country in Victoria, the Australian Alps in New South Wales, and central Tasmania are covered in snow. These regions are well known for their snow resorts in winter. However, it is important to note that Australia does not have permanent snow, unlike Switzerland.
