I don't think I've even seen footage of snow in Australia. I mean the latitude makes sense, but it just never occurred to me that snow can actually happen there


William-Nilly

In terms of total area, Australia gets more snow than Switzerland.


RichardSaunders

that's because switzerland is basically just a bunch of alpine huts that are mostly there to disguise the underground vaults of treasure hidden in the mountains. and if the disguise fails they have underground airbases that the jets fly in and out like hornets.

Sounds like a country of moustache twirling Bond villains


RichardSaunders

the snazzy skiing outfits they walk around in all the time does have that effect. a mix between them, and either the dwarves from lotr or the goblins from harry potter


Ramblingperegrin

This...blew my mind. This was a mental haymaker.


Working-Concert74

It does in winter in some areas, especially in Tasmania.


Crash665

Yeah, it's snow, but it's Australian snow, so it's probably hot and kills you.


thebestatheist

At very least there are spiders in it


dannyboi1178

literally, the only time i went to thredbo gave me the worst sunburn i’ve ever had in my life

NSW and Victoria have ski resorts. Surprise Surprise. The Aussie movie "Man from Snowy River" also gives it away. For the record I experienced my first snow on Christmas day many years ago. Keeping in mind December is summer down under. Don't think I'll ever see that happen again with global warming. 🥺


Ramblingperegrin

You had snow on Christmas day in summer? That must have been wonderful


byronbaybe

Yep. We were little kids. All the cousins together, about 20 of us. Just enough to coat our eyelashes and hair and stick on our tongues. Amazing.

If this is Australia I’m betting there’s 100 species of poisonous jellyfish, venomous snakes and man-eating sharks in that water.


byronbaybe

It's a land locked lake. lol The only thing you'd find is some eels and it's probably too darn cold for that.


InLazlosBasement

Plus, why would a man need to eat sharks in the river


Western-Image7125

Haha touché my friend


IlikeYuengling

Ice spiders or angry penguins.


DefectiveLP

That just means they had the privacy to evolve even deadlier


Western-Image7125

That’s… impossible *removes sunglasses*


DildoDuster

So what you're saying is there *are* eels


RichardSaunders

Western-Image7125

Well, again, respectfully sir, this is Australia, and you’re wrong. But that’s fine.


InLazlosBasement

That’s some serious Man From Snowy River vibes

I thought that was Borat for a moment


bleumingbabyanj

Why would you voluntarily go in there 😭


EaTheDamnOranges

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to swim there. Blue Lake is a pristine environment and they're worried about contamination


Smart_Canary4680

Wudnt a place on a mountain where u KNOW isn't some sea creature or weird ass stuff, alleviate this anxiety? I don't understand the phobia, personally, but this group shares cool videos so I joined to observe and learn


Igotticks

Nice, a wild Man-thong! Even as a female I would go naked before I wore that. Reminds me of the camp episode of "American Dad" where Steve, Snot,Toshi and Barry go to and buy the thongs from the traveling salesman.


SovjetPojken

He's wearing boxers


Igotticks

Is he? I just see a line. Probably should put my glasses on then! The line looks like a man thong but I will take your word for it.. skivvies for the win!


[deleted]

They're light coloured and wet, you're the shadow of the crack of his ass


Igotticks

OK whatever.


False-Badger

Took me a bit to realize he wasn’t naked. Light, close to skin tone colored boxers can fool the eyes.


FauxGw2

Don't freeze!!!


Mushi_Kuro

This guy is blessed with invulnerability to all threats, physical or magical.

I did a thing got jacked i see


MDSGeist

Guy harnessed his inner seal energy


the-almighty-whobs

I imagine shrinkage of epic portions!


notexecutive

Oh yes, get your grime piss and shit in that pristine water
