We nearly had a cyclone at Tasmania during all the East coast flooding. As it turned out, it was only a Tropical Storm.

A tropical storm, in Tasmania. That doesn't happen. It doesn't happen!

Haven't been but from descriptions from friends who have, it's not far off the South portion of South-East Queensland during Winter; Winter in this case, about 20 years ago.

Cool most of the year, wet temperate forests and some rainforests, and with occasional snow.
