An unseasonal cold blast has swept through Australia’s south‑east, bringing springtime snow to alpine areas across New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
Snow fell at Thredbo, Perisher and Mount Hotham, three of the country’s most popular ski resorts, all of which recorded falls during the early‑morning hours.
In Tasmania, the cold front also produced snow on Kunanyi, also known as Mount Wellington, overlooking Hobart.
The sudden drop in temperatures has caught many off guard, as the region normally experiences mild weather during this time of year.
Local authorities have urged visitors to exercise caution on the roads and slopes as conditions remain unpredictable.
