Delaware mate; I think it is really because Australia was part of the old Gwandanaland and it really has no real seasons that yoy would recognise. Just about all of our native trees are eucalypts and as such are evergreens. To the west of Sydney is the Blue Mountains and it is the hize from gases from millions of Eucalyptus trees that make them quite blue, particularly on a hot summer day. As well all our native animals except for three are marsupials meaning they carry their young in a pouch.; ie no proper mamals at all. Two of those three are the strangest creatures on the planet; montreems meaning egg laying mamals. The Echidna looks like a small but friendly hedgehog and the other is the platypus. Acts like and has a tail a beaver; beak like a duck and reptililian skin and feet; lays reptilian eggs and suckles its young; strange huh. The most controversial is the Dingo; thought to be a dog and companion to the aborigines, been here for only 5000 years instead of millions like the others, but not so. It was brought here many times by Maccassan fishermen and it is a variation of the Asian Wolf no one really knows how long it has been here due to its multiple entry but it came from Asia. Combination of a Dingo and an German Shepherd dog id is real bad news. It is now regarded as an introduced species. The Dingo is thought to be the reason that several marsupials died out on the mainland and lived only in our island state Tasmania. ie The Tasmanian devil, Tasmanian Tiger etc. Rgds Ian
