A cold snap has brought unseasonable weather for Australia's southern states over the start of summer.
Snow dusted the Australian Alps four days in a row last week while Hobart recorded its coldest December Day in 50 years.
People have particularly felt the chill in Melbourne and Sydney, which recorded the coldest mornings of 8.1C and 12.5C respectively, and December days have averaged more than 2C cooler than last year.
