Odd sprinking, more snow that the alps (or something like that). More ski slopes than Britain.
We have snow maybe once a year in most places. Australia has more snow and ice than England.

Re: Winter Olympics
These ski slopes are very seasonal, which are otherwise just hills. Do you know the difference in the size of each country? Maybe not. We may well have bigger deserts than Saudi Arabia, doesn't mean we are likely to beat them in camel races.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 9:24 pmAgreed a pastime.

I do not follow camel racing so I do not know the stats on that.
It is very close as to who beats who more regularly but you cannot deny we beat you regularly. You certainly beat us more regularly in your own conditions.
I believe Australia have won 3 more series whixh is made up of australia's 3 series better performance in australia.
